Adrift is a book, based on a true story, for those who have left home, sought home, or even found home and know what it's like to live between worlds. Deanne was born to Canadian parents and grew up living in Canada, Germany and then on ships sailing around the world. This story begins when she moved back to the sea shortly after her 13th birthday. As I stared out the window of the van, the buildings of every city loomed ominously, like giant watchdogs forcing us to keep going. The glass was cool as I leaned my head against the window and forced the tears to retreat.The world outside the window whirled by as I stared the dogs down. My memories hung loosely together like bulbs from a string of lights. I couldn't remember when or where they happened or my exact age. I lived moment by moment, a girl in front of an ever-changing landscape of people and places.There were reasons I did not belong to each of the countries I lived: you are not German, you have a Canadian passport. You are not Canadian, you've only lived here for a year. Would I ever fit in?A Girl From The Sea Series Book 1
