Emily Sheffield's parents are the worst. Okay, maybe Emily has been erratic and her behavior a little reckless lately, but shipping her off to live with her grandparents in Alaska is so much worse than she deserves. For Aiden Cohen, life in Alaska is perfect: good grades, great friends, and work he loves. There's just one thing missing: his mom. But a disastrous first meeting with his birth mom leaves Aiden stunned and ready to go back to his ordinary life in Alaska. 

A confusion on the runaway prevents the plane from landing, but when the plane hits a bad patch of turbulence, throwing it off-course, the pilots lose control. The plane crashes, leaving Emily, Aiden, and two dozen other passengers stranded on a creepy island. But they aren't the only ones on the island, and it's now a race against time for someone to find them before the island's inhabitants do.

Warped Remains

I tilt my head, unsure how to answer. "Maybe." I shrug. "I don't know, but I do know that we're going to be okay."


"How can you know that?" Frustration drips from her words. "How can you so blindly believe in something - someone - you've never even seen?"


I sigh. Is she really interested in learning more about God, or is she just lashing out because she's scared? I'm guessing it's the latter. "Are you all right, Emily?" She's been acting so strange all day. Granted, being here isn't easy, but she acts like she's stuck in her head and can't get out.


"Being stuck here gives you a lot of time to think. That's why I want to go on the hike tomorrow. I need to get away from this beach," she says. Then, she hangs her head. "Matt and I used to go to the beach together a lot."
