self-discovery.Paris  1885: Aubry Tourvel  a spoiled and stubborn nine-year-old girl  comes
across a wooden puzzle ball on her walk home from school. She tosses it over the fence  only to
find it in her satchel that evening. Days later  at the family dinner table  she is stricken by
a mysterious illness. When a visit to a doctor only makes her worse  she flees to the outskirts

begins her incredible lifelong journey on the run from her condition. From the scorched dunes
