Marian Graves is driven by a need for freedom and danger, from her days as a wild child in prohibition America to the blitz and glitz of wartime London, from the rugged shores of New Zealand to a lonely ice shelf in Antarctica.

She resists the pull of her childhood sweetheart and burns her way through a suite of glamorous lovers, determined to live an independent life. Her obsession with flight, however, consumes her the most.
