Imagine waking up homeless, your only shelter a hunting blind hidden deep in the forest. This is seventeen-year-old Allie Grace's reality after her father's death. She's crafted an elaborate web of lies-her aunt and uncle believe she's staying with her friend Vivian, while Vivian thinks she's with relatives. Each day begins before dawn as she hides her meager possessions and hikes twenty-five minutes to catch the school bus, where the elderly driver Maggie offers small kindnesses like an umbrella despite clear forecasts. When a violent storm destroys her makeshift home, Allie finds herself trapped beneath the collapsed structure, her ankle throbbing in pain. As a mudslide threatens to bury her alive, she makes a foolish choice to retrieve her father's photo-the only memento she has left of him. Just when all seems lost, a massive white wolf appears, not to attack, but to save her life and lead her toward shelter through the darkening forest.
