In a loft bedroom in North Yorkshire, sixteen-year-old Anna sits on the carpet immersed in the pages of the <i>NME</i>, listening to cassette tapes that she keeps in a shoebox.

It is the tale of an outsider who, through connections made at gigs, mysterious black feathers and conversations in smoke-filled cars, finds the people and the places that will take her to her life.</p>
