Released from care on her eighteenth birthday in 1986 with just thirty pounds, an oversized rucksack and a pair of red sparkling bongos, Vicky sets off from the hippy town of Hebden Bridge on an audacious journey across Europe and North Africa.
Sleeping rough, stealing food, lying to a lying priest and smuggling drugs, she soon discovers the harsh price of an imagined freedom. Yet she remains determined to find a future not dictated by her past.
Running alongside her journey is the story of her childhood, told through social worker files from the age of one. Their official version of events often clashes with the memories of the child who lived them, revealing the distance between what was recorded and what was experienced.
Funny, painful and often absurd, this is the story of a young woman in search of home in the most unlikely of places.
