Bahrain, 1970. After a summer spent with her family, fifteen-year-old Anna is flying back to boarding school in England when her plane is hijacked by Palestinian terrorists and taken to the Jordanian desert. Demands are issued. If they are not met, the terrorists will blow up the plane, killing all hostages. The heat becomes unbearable; food and water supplies dwindle. All alone, Anna begins to face the possibility that she may never see her family again. Inspired by true events, this is a story about real people facing horror with courage and resilience.

Trapped in the desert with dwindling supplies and time running out, what does it take to survive?

  • Based on a True Story: Inspired by the author’s own terrifying experience as a teenage hostage during the 1970 Dawson’s Field hijackings.
  • YA Thriller: Anna is alone, surrounded by strangers, and facing down armed terrorists. One wrong move could get everyone killed.
  • Coming of Age: Forced to confront her own mortality, Anna must find a strength she never knew she possessed just to make it through another day.
  • 1970s Historical Fiction: Step back to a volatile moment in history, from the heat of Bahrain to a tense standoff in the Jordanian desert, where global politics become terrifyingly personal.
