Description
To find the truth, she must first uncover the lie ….
Orphaned
as an infant, Sam is raised by a pharmaceutical research mission in the rain
forests of Torundi. She
wields a mean machete, makes soap from candlenuts and is a fairly astute
amateur entomologist. You
know, the normal stuff. But
a month before her seventeenth birthday, she is exiled to an American boarding
school in Malaysia.
Armed with little more than her unusual upbringing and church-lady clothes, Sam
must contend with her new existence as the world's most socially unprepared
high school senior. Well
that’s just fine. Because
Sam is determined to solve the mystery behind her banishment and return home tout de suite.
But when she discovers the unthinkable – that her banishment is tied
to an enigmatic corporation with illicit designs on Torundi – she realizes the
real mystery she must uncover is ... why? Soon, Sam is caught in a whirlwind
of intrigue, danger and greed. As
she chases this thread of truth to its end, she unravels a plot that threatens
her beloved Torundi, her trust in the boy she has grown to love and her own
existence.
