When the plane goes down, survival is just the beginning.

Seventeen-year-old Juno Hayes thought spending a month with Grandpa Pete would be the perfect escape from her fractured family life. Flying cargo runs across the country beats spending the entire summer trapped at home, where she's the outsider in her father's new happy family with stepmother Sophie and twin half-brothers.

But when Grandpa Pete makes an unscheduled detour, one that isn't logged in their flight plan, their small plane is caught in a devastating storm. The crash kills her grandfather instantly, leaving Juno alone in the wilderness with a terrible realization: rescue teams will be searching for them in all the wrong places.

With nothing but a carefully packed backpack and years of her grandfather's survival lessons echoing in her mind, Juno begins a desperate trek through unforgiving terrain. But the physical journey is nothing compared to the emotional wilderness she must navigate. Haunted by memories of her mother's death, questioning what family really means, and carrying the weight of a promise she never made, Juno discovers that finding her way home means first finding herself.

In a story of love, loss, and the quiet power of devotion, one teen's fight for survival becomes a journey of the heart: a reckoning with grief, a test of resolve, and a promise that refuses to be broken.

This deeply moving survival tale explores the meaning of family, the weight of grief, and the courage it takes to find your own way, leaving a lasting imprint long after the final page.
