My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This book will really pull you in. It begins with sixteen-year-old Cheyenne Wilder curled up in the back seat of her car while her step-mother goes in to get a prescription filled for Cheyenne's pneumonia. Her step mother has left the keys in the car so Cheyenne can turn the heat on if she gets cold. The keys in the Escalade are an open invitation to Griffin, who ends up stealing the car with Cheyenne in the back seat. The situation turns from bad to worse, however, because we soon learn that Cheyenne is blind. Griffin takes her home to his car-thief father, who is at first unhappy with his son for making the car theft so much more complicated. When the father finds out that Cheyenne is the daughter of the president of Nike though, he soon decides that it is an ideal opportunity for negotiating ransom. The details of the plot are a side story to the relationship that develops between Griffin and Cheyenne as Griffin tries to protect her from those who would do her harm. She feels his kindness and a strange kind of trust balances between the two of them. This engaging read is one that will appeal to girls or boys who love an exciting real life story.
