When young runaway Jennie Nystrom came to television reporter Gabby Gooding, desperate for help in finding Hannah, another runaway and Jennie''s best friend, Gabby had no idea where that simple request would lead: First, to a deep friendship with the girl and a revealing look inside the world of homeless, often abused, youth, and the fight to protect them...then to a mystifying murder investigation and threats on her life and that of her fiancee...and, finally, to dramatic standoffs with both Jennie''s abusive father and a rapist-turned-killer who is obsessed with

Gabby. In the middle of it all is an inside look at the turbulent world of television news and Gabby''s persistent search for the truth.
