GENERAL NON-FICTION

Fourteen-year-old Dylan has always been troubled by her black skin, the legacy of her absent father. She lives with her French mother, and together they dream of one day sailing across the water to France. But when her mother dies in a freak accident, Dylan finds herself on a very different journey- a road trip in the care of her mother's grieving boyfriend, Pat. As they travel through outback towns further and further from the water that Dylan craves to take her to France to her mother's spirit, she and Pat form an unlikely bond.
