Girl Stolen, by April Henry
Cheyenne has
already survived some horrendous life experiences. When she was thirteen, her mother was
literally ripped from her life when a driver hit her, her dog and her mom as
they were walking alongside a road.
Cheyenne lost her sight as a result of the trauma she endured; her
mother and her dog were killed outright.
She has finally recovered from her injuries and has begun to embrace
life fully when the car in which she is waiting is stolen with her inside it!
