Synopsis:
Wonder Woman brings Julia and Vanessa to Paradise Island. They are the first visitors to Themyscira as part of a cultural exchange program. The Amazons share stories with the visitors including tales of Diana's childhood. Julia meets the Amazon Pythia whom she recognizes. When Julia was an infant, Pythia rescued her from a boating accident. Julia was briefly taken to Paradise Island, then returned to her parents. During the exchange, the Amazons learn more about the outside world from stories told by Julia and Diana. Finally the visit concludes with new bonds of friendship formed.
