When Diana defies the Amazons to try to bring the outsiders to safety, she finds herself swept away by the stormy sea. Diana herself becomes a refugee in an unfamiliar land. Now she must survive in the world beyond Themyscira for the first time–a world that is filled with danger and injustice unlike anything she’s ever experienced.  She now must redefine what it means to belong, to be an Amazon, and to make a difference. Laurie Halse Anderson and Leila del Duca ‘s Wonder Woman: Tempest Tossed (DC Comics) is a story about growing into your strength, fighting for justice, and finding home.
