Synopsis
Sometimes even a girl who likes to rely only on herself needs to be brave enough to ask for help.When a super-storm hits Addy's remote mountain town, knocking out the bridge and cutting her home off from the main road, she worries that she won&’t be able to get to the survival camp she&’s been looking forward to attending. The camp&’s the place where her parents met, and where Addy plans to hone her skills and honor their legacy. But now there&’s no power and it&’s also like a light has been switched off in her mom, who&’s been triggered by the raging river and memories of Addy&’s dad dying in a similar storm. The two of them are feeling particularly stranded as they&’ve never bothered to befriend any neighbors. But now Addy keeps running into her classmate Caleb on the hill above her house where they both go to get cell service. Caleb&’s frantic about a missing neighbor, and Addy&’s amazed to see how he&’s able to connect with folks to get help. Then Caleb offers to help her get to camp--but can she trust him? She always thought of him as an enemy--but maybe she was partially to blame for his frostiness? The storm has brought so many questions swirling to the surface and has made Addy feel it&’s time to take some leaps of faith. When she agrees to travel with Caleb by canoe, this sets off a remarkable string of events and the biggest test of her survival skills. More importantly, it sets Addy on a road to understanding that she's not in this adventure of life alone--and that a good thing.
