Two classics—The Lovely Bones and The Beach—merge in this visionary travel adventure. Jen—seventeen years old and abused—steals $10,00 and runs away to Asia. The Lonely Planetpath through Hong Kong, The Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand leads to hook-ups, heat, alcohol, and drugs—a terrifying reality for the young survivor now calling herself Carlie. Fortunately, Carlie is taken under the wing of a compassionate couple who convince her to come to Japan with them. Living in Tokyo in the late 1980s, teaching English, and practicing tai chi, Carlie takes journey: one to find the self-respect ripped from her as a child and the healthy sexuality she desires.
