Set in the 1700s, a young woman flees her home in wild Nova Scotia, running away from everything she knows and is. What mysterious secrets does she harbor that are pushing her headlong into danger and tragedy? As her journey ensues, she decides she must search for her baby, kidnapped by privateers--but where and how? Will she be found by those from whom she is running before she can even begin her search? The young woman unexpectedly discovers love, but her habit of running steers her right into the hands of the very same privateers. Tormented, abused, and chained, she all but loses hope. What will she find on her journey? More than she ever bargained for . . . for, you see, it is a thin line, indeed, that separates running FROM something and actually running TO something.
