Leaving Shangrila is Isabelle Gecils's story-a universal story of the search for belonging and normalcy. Isabelle's search, however, was constantly interrupted by adults who failed her, blocking the attainment of her dreams. Deciding to chart her own path, Isabelle, using limited resources, fought for her freedom, yet the survival skills she acquired to achieve it came back to haunt her.
