I want to wander the wastelands of the Gobi desert and see a yak. I want to do things-I want to walk the rain-soaked streets of London, and drink mint tea in Casablanca. But the whole world is out there, waiting, just waiting for me. They say no land remains to be discovered, no continent is left unexplored. With stunning lyricism, Sandell weaves a tale of one girl's journey through the redemptive powers of art, friendship, and love. When Cora begins to fall for Damian, the handsome, brooding boy who was in the car with Nate the night he died, she uncovers her brother's secret artistic life and realizes she had more in common with him than she ever imagined. She seeks solace in drawing beautiful maps, envisioning herself in exotic locales. Ever since her reckless older brother, Nate, died in a car crash, Cora has felt suffocated by her small town and high school.
