About This Book

Popular young adult novelist Caroline B. Cooney has crafted a thrilling novel, filled with page-turning action. Readers will be swept away by this compelling story of a young woman who confronts her deepest fears. Teenager Heidi Landseth is home alone her wealthy parents out of town again when her quiet night is suddenly shattered by a deafening noise. Much to her despair, Heidi discovers that a plane has crashed in the woods near her parents estate. Unsure of herself, she doubts that she can be of any help to the victims. Yet Heidi finds that she possesses an inner-strength that she never knew she had, and she plays an important role in saving lives.

Cooney keeps the story moving at a fast pace, and steers clear of exploiting the horror of such a tragedy. Heidi's struggle shows both the dark, and the inevitable bright spots that emerge from such a situation.
