Avery Delacorte is a sophomore and competitive swim team member at her California college. She is headed home to Boston for Thanksgiving when her flight crashes into a remote lake in the Rocky Mountains. Against all odds, Avery, her teammate Colin Shea, and three young boys survive the impact and make it to shore. Scenes of their highstakes alpine survival are interwoven with Avery's recovery in the hospital, her attempts to return to campus and rejoin the team, and her unwillingness to face Colin and the boys again. Tension mounts with every page as the reader wonders, why is Avery so sure she let them all down out there? If she is meant to be with her college boyfriend, Lee, then why does her mind keep wandering back to Colin? And can she swim again without memories of the ordeal  overwhelming her? With athletics, adventure, suspense, and spine-tingling romance, Claire Kells’ debut novel really has it all! (Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Award Program, 2017)
