Sophomore Hallie Calhoun has just endured the most excruciating six months of her life. After the rumors about her and the preacher's son, Luke, made their way around school, her friends abandoned her, and Hallie has completely withdrawn. Now on a hike in the Smoky Mountains with the same people who have relentlessly taunted her, Hallie is pushed to her limit. Then Hallie, friendly newcomer Rachel, and Jonah—Hallie's former friend—get separated from the group. Days go by without rescue, and their struggle for survival turns deadly. Stranded in the wilderness, the three have no choice but to trust one another in order to stay alive...and Hallie is forced to face the truth about what really happened that night with Luke. From the cutthroat atmosphere of high school to the unpredictable terrain of the mountains, this debut is a poignant, raw journey about finding yourself after having been lost for so long.
