Translated by Laura Watkinson.
Dutch fifteen-year-old Emilia de Wit, humiliated by a scandal involving her father and needing to reestablish control over her own life, makes a statement by running away to NYC. But plans fall through, and Emilia finds herself relying on the kindness of strangers as Hurricane Sandy bears down on the city. An unrealistic premise is balanced by action and a likable heroine.
