After Jason turns up dead, Trixie knows the police will come to her first since she's the obvious suspect with the rape charge against Jason. But she's afraid they'll arrest her and she'll be convicted of his murder even though she really didn't do it! (if they don't believe her on a rape case, why would they on a murder trial?) And so Trixie runs away to Alaska. Seems random perhaps? Perhaps not! Trixie's dad, Daniel, grew up in Alaska and he always talked about how he ran away from there, and how when people ran away from there they were never found. So Trixie thought it would be the perfect place to run away to and never be found. It doesn't take her dad long to realize that she's run away to Alaska after they discover she's gone, and so Daniel and Laura (Trixie's mom) go on a goose chase for Trixie in Alaska. Now, let me remind you, they don't have roads up there. They drive snow machine's to get around. So looking for Trixie and the possibility of never finding her again, was quite a scare for her parents. But they end up finding Trixie, who has been in the company of a Yup'ik boy named Willie who has taught her how to trust guys again. And the murderer of Jason? Trixie's mom!
I saw the movie a few years ago on lifetime (I posted the trailer for it earlier) so it was hard to get through the book when I knew mostly what was going to happen. But I'm pretty sure the ending is different in the movie, so it made that part of the book more interesting.
