Helena is a pretty normal kid, she admires her father and follows him on hunting and fishing trips. She has no interest in learning to cook. She likes the outdoors and reading National Geographic.  She is not particularly close to her mother.  As time goes on, she starts thinking her live is a little odd.  After all, she has never seen any other people besides her parents.  She has only one outfit to wear. Her dad can be extremely cruel in his punishments.  One day when she is twelve, she finds out that her father kidnapped her mother and she is the product of a relationship not exactly built on love.  The cabin they live in was chosen because it is very isolated.  But present day Helena has a husband and a family.  She is making a living in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.  Her life really is pretty normal now.  But everything changes when her father breaks out of prison.  She knows she is the perfect person to track him and find him and that the authorities will have problems. This story turns into a heart stopping thriller.  The audio version is very good, the story is unforgettable.
