Emerging from her unconscious state, Delia realizes that she has been stowed away on a boat heading for post–Civil War America. Lost and homesick, yet a victim of circumstances, Delia’s travels and adventures begin. As the story unfolds, Delia is thrust into a journey of love, romance and danger, while encountering unusual characters along her way. Wilda Knight has woven a fictitious story onto the backdrop of North Carolina’s Outer Banks, indulging in local history and folklore, while following one young woman’s search for a place to call home.
