Aren''t the views just ravishing?

Where the sunrises start and the day begins is where fourteen-year-old, Azalea Stanton waits patiently, watching the beauty of the world unfold. No one fully understands her wanderlust or ache for adventure, but is it truly so horrible to want to escape the shadow of her older sister, Florence? When the opportunity finally presents itself, offering an escape from the small town of Lorretta, Azalea is suddenly aware of how many challenges the world holds. From soirees to aiding and harboring a runaway, Azalea''s adventurous spirit is tested time and time again. The city of Brockschmidt offers more than just the prospect of finding a husband for Florence, whom Azalea comes to realize is not as different from her as she previously believed. The trick of life is the spontaneity of it all, and we do not realize what we have in our possession until it slips between our fingers.
