Can you ever escape your past?
Sixteen years old, and feeling rejected, Athena Hobbs makes the fateful decision to run away from her Bristol home, with suave Dexter Mitchell. Arriving in London, Dexter exposes Athena to the gritty side of the city, immersing them into a dangerous criminal underworld. Despite the allure of her new life, Athena struggles to fit in, increasingly uneasy at the things she’s witnessed. Escaping Dexter, Athena joins three other free spirits in a tour across Europe. She finds solace in the new countries and cultures she encounters, but the weight of her emotional struggles remains a burden. Arriving in Greece, Athena makes a fresh start on Hydra, embracing the beauty and tranquillity of the island. Her happiness is short lived however, when she’s confronted with a tragic turn of events that shatter her newfound happiness. Athena is forced to make a decision that will shape the rest of her life, a decision that may ultimately lead her back to the very place she escaped from. From the seedy streets of post war London to the stunning beaches of Greece in the swinging sixties, Hope Under Blue Skies is a story of solace, self-discovery, and resilience. |
