Chapter One
 
It's just a night out with girlfriends, not the Academy Awards, thinks Gabby, frowning at her wardrobe as she endlessly pushes hangers back and forth, hoping something compelling, something worthy will suddenly appear and jump out at her: the perfect shirt, the perfect dress. It shouldn't matter, this being a girls' night out, but of course it matters far more than on a night out with Elliott. Tonight Gabby is dressing for the other women.
 

'Like no other crime mystery you have ever read...'

Roma-Kentucky is a small American town where nothing really happens. That is, until October 1993. When the peace of this quiet town is shattered.
 
Emily Houchens is a thirteen year old 8th grader at Roma Middle School; intelligent, yet withdrawn due to her weight. She also has a crush on Christopher Shelton, one of the popular boys, who fondly refers to her as “Freak”; a habit which her classmates emulate. To escape her unhappy existence she goes for long walks in the woods, where she is free to daydream.

Prologue
 
Cheltenham, 29 March 1991
 
Flora kicked off her shoes, pulled her dress over her head and tossed it on to the bed. She was about to remove her underwear too, when a glance in the gilt-framed cheval mirror stopped her.
 
Dressed, she still looked quite trim for a woman of forty-eight, but naked she was flabby and her skin pale. She couldn't bear the thought of anyone seeing her like that. Not even in death.

Die I Ching, of “Boek van veranderings”, word al vir meer as 21 eeue in die Ooste gebruik, en is sedert die 19de eeu tot vandag toe ook in die Weste 'n wyd geraadpleegde bron. In Koos Kombuis se i-Tjieng praat hierdie wysheid jou taal: ligvoets en humoristies, maar doodernstig oor die feit dat baie mense vandag verlore voel en blindweg tas na ’n pad. Dit is jou “GPS vir verdwaalde siele”.
