Synopsis
Life in the White House had been hard for seventeen-year-old Meghan Powers-the endless publicity, the suffocating presence of the Secret Service, and the horror of seeing her own mother almost assassinated. But now, at the end of her senior year, things are getting back to normal. She's getting ready for college and her tennis game has never been better. Then, leaving school one afternoon, shots are fired, bodies start falling, and Meg is thrown into a speeding van. She wakes up in pain and darkness, in more trouble than she ever could have imagined. The man guarding her is terrifying. And she is in this alone. Meg must discover within herself strength she's never used before-that she didn't even know she had. She will have to summon all the courage she can muster-to survive.
