At fourteen, after a long and public court battle with Dutch authorities, she won the right to set sail on a two year global odyssey that would make her the youngest person ever to complete a solo circumnavigation… Maidentrip intimately and creatively navigates Laura’s extraordinary life journey and her epic quest to both conquer the world and discover her place in it.”
