Roz and her mother were a two-person family -- until Roz's mother was killed trying to rescue a hiker. Now, a year later, Roz lives with her uncle, unable to cope with the past. For months, she's been calling the hiker, the last person to see her mother alive -- calling, and hanging up. When he gets an unlisted number, Roz sees it as a sign. She has to run away, travel to where the boy lives, and ask him what really happened -- once and for all. " The writing is pure poetry that takes readers on a literary journey too good to miss." -- "Booklist," starred review
