You're the guest of honor at a Presidential conference. Protestors show up-with guns? Who do you trust, the beautiful brown-eyed boy, the mystical spirit-child, or the grizzly bear you talked to on a hike?Fifteen-year-old Sammy Carlisle is hyperexcited. She will meet the President, spend several totally magical days in Glacier National park, and say a few words about saving wildlife and the environment. When whisked away on a fifteen-mile hike, everything goes sideways.On the trail, Sammy meets fascinating characters who trigger her empathic sensitivity and put her on alert. When protestors crash the conference, she is thrown into the center of a conspiracy filled with treachery and deceit.As the conference crumbles into a mad rush for survival, the lines between good and evil, right and wrong, blur. "You are a puppet of the powerful," she is told, and for the first time, Sammy questions her loyalties and must make choices never imagined-the truth she once knew or the pull of her heart.
