This is the true story of six-year-old Haley Zega who got lost while hiking in one of the most remote and rugged wilderness areas in the central United States (The Buffalo River wilderness in northwest Arkansas, April, 2001). She wandered for three days and two nights, scrambled down steep slopes, waded the Buffalo River, bushwhacked through a thick jungle, made friends with a caterpillar, and may have been kept company by the spirit of a little girl who had been murdered long ago. This is a story of courage, of hope, and of despair. It is the story of exhausted volunteers who would not give up. It is the story of a community of strangers who dropped everything and came together for a little girl they did not know.
