Dina is just an average 7 year old growing up in the suburbs of Chicago. But she is noticing her parents arguing more and is not 100% sure she understands why. They decide to take a family vacation to Gatlinburg, TN to take their minds off the stresses plaguing them. However, a life changing event has them stranded and learning to trust strangers.

When I retell the story to people they remark "how incredible ," "you have got to write that story down ," and "you just don't hear about this kind of event these days ."
