What would you do if you couldn't do anything without something unexpected happening? Maddie Banks is like any other human. She is smart, she's brave, and she's always ready to fight. When she and her family travel to Utah something happens. Murder. Kidnaps. Lies. Her grandpa had died that week so she was there to attend the funeral but something happened. If only her parents told her maybe everything would be fine. Maybe she would be downstairs eating a snack, or if she had stayed with her aunt maybe she wouldn't have had the traumatizing experience she had. She may have even had fun staying with her aunt enjoying her winter break by a fireplace with a hot chocolate in one hand and a remote in the other. If only she never went to Utah. Then everything would be different.
