All she has ever known is a nomadic existence, travelling in a camper van with Mar, her strong-willed mother.

One morning, without explanation, Mar leaves and doesn' t come back. Utterly alone, Starling must learn to survive without her mother and build a life on her own terms. An offer to stay with an old friend draws her into a more conventional way of living &– but can rootless Starling ever find a place where she truly belongs?
