Synopsis:
From the author of When Elephants Fly comes an exceptional new novel
about falling down, risking everything and embracing what makes us
unique. Don't miss this compulsively readable novel about the most
unlikely of heroes.
Danger "Danny" Danielle Warren is no stranger to falling. After losing
an eye in a childhood accident, she had to relearn her perception of
movement and space. Now Danny keeps her head down, studies hard, and
works to fulfill everyone else's needs. She's certain that her mom's
bitterness and her TV star father's absence are her fault. If only she
were more-more athletic, charismatic, attractive-life would be perfect.
When her dad calls with an offer to join him to film the next episode of
his popular survivalist show, Danny jumps at the chance to prove she's
not the disappointment he left behind. Being on set with the hottest
teen movie idol of the moment, Gus Price, should be the cherry on top.
But when their small plane crashes in the Amazon, and a terrible secret
is revealed, Danny must face the truth about the parent she worships and
falling for Gus, and find her own inner strength and worth to light the
way home.
I'm a published author with children's, teen and adult titles including: The Golden Globe, Lyric's World and Promises (Junior Jedi Knights Trilogy) for LucasFilm (Berkeley Press), Feel No Fear, The Power, Passion and Politics of a Life in Gymnastics (Hyperion), Monica: From Fear to Victory (HarperCollins), A Journey: The Autobiography of Apolo Anton Ohno (Simon & Schuster), Nadia Comaneci: Letters to a Young Gymnast (Basic Books), and Winning Every Day with Shannon Miller (Bantam Books).
I've written for a circus, a graduate school, tried my hand at
waitressing (I was terrible!), baking carrot cakes (I was messy but
good!), and been lucky enough to ultimately do what I love - write.
I live in the Pacific Northwest with my husband and our mostly wonderful
(but sometimes vorpal) Vizsla. When I'm not conjuring a story, I love
to kite-board, bike, ski or plan adventures with my two guys, who both
make me laugh for different reasons and are the best partners in fun a
gal could ever imagine.
