Publisher's Synopsis
The book tells the story of Audrey, a lively nineteen-year-old who wants to see the world and experience what it has to offer. Her over-protective father wants to keep her at home, but she is an admirably unprincipled young woman; she decides to steal the hundred pounds that he keeps in his safe and to run away and earn her living by working. She is about to do this when her father suddenly dies of a heart attack. Her mother tries to continue controlling her, but dies soon after. Audrey is now a rich woman, who can do anything she chooses to.
