Home and her first life seem so far away.īut new friendships and the awesome beauty of Switzerland begin to unlock thoughts and dreams within her. Dinnie's accustomed to change, with her family constantly moving for "opportunity"-but when her aunt and uncle whisk her far away to an international school in Switzerland, she's not sure she's ready to face this "opportunity" alone.Īll at once she finds herself in a foreign country, surrounded by kids from different cultures speaking all sorts of languages and sharing various beliefs. That the kidnappers are actually Aunt Sandy and Uncle Max makes no difference to thirteen-year-old Domenica Santolina Doone, better known as Dinnie-she just doesn't want to go.

My second life began when I was kidnapped by two complete strangers.
