A recent college graduate with a history of hapless jobs reads Robert Louis Stevenson's novel Treasure Island and is dumbstruck by the timid design of her life. Convinced that Stevenson's book is cosmically intended for her, she redesigns her life according to its Core Values: boldness, resolution, independence, and horn-blowing. The result is "a total hoot. Outrageous!!! Delightful!!!" (Nancy Pearl, NPR) and one of Literary Hub's "50 Best Contemporary Novels under 200 Pages."
