High school is coming to an end for Sophia and with it the last semblance of stability in her life. Her relationship with her mother has always been troubled, but when her mom falls sick, Sophia learns that the world is not always your friend. Shy and a bit of a loner, Sophia will make a decision- stand and face life and everything it throws at her, or fall into despair. Lost, alone and worn down by her job, Sophia one day finds herself standing on a rainy platform as a train approaches. If she boards that train, the course of her life will change forever and take her to places she never expected. This is not your classic love story. This girl doesn't need a prince charming to take on life and everything it has to offer.  A world awaits for her; from the hot sun of Africa to the chilly, snowcapped mountains of central Europe. There will be accidents, pain and a whole lot of heartache, but there will also be warmth and dancing and late nights under the stars. The world will quickly find it has nothing to compare to the strength and courage of one girl and her newfound sense of purpose.
