This is a flashback of the events that changed April Corrigan's life forever. Everything in her life seemed ordinary until one day her father's friend told her and the rest of the family that they have to leave everything behind because someone was hunting for them. April finds out that her father father worked for the FBI. Now he's involved in a trial that endangered his life and so they have to hide and start over with different names.
You would not find a lot of action in this book but most of it involves April's insights and feelings about their situation. Sometimes she could be irritating, but as the story develops, she starts to mature. Slowly she began to accept that things have changed and that not all stories have a happy ending. I like how she was portrayed as a normal teenager - stubborn and emotional. The book could make you feel how desperate and helpless the characters are. There are no easy solutions and miracles that will solve their problems in an instant. I'm glad that the author didn't force a happy ending.
This is very well-written. Duncan could describe the scenes very well. This is great for anyone who likes a short suspense novel.
