GIRL UNDERWATER By Claire Kells Featured By Oprah.com

Girl Underwater follows the story of Avery, a competitive college swimmer who boards a cross-country red-eye flight with two team members and two hundred strangers, unaware that she is about to experience one of the most terrifying events one can imagine. When the plane goes down over the Rockies, only Avery, three little boys, and her teammate Colin Shea-who she has been avoiding since the first day of her freshman year-survive.

For five days, Avery must fight for her life, overcoming sub-zero temperatures, an unforgiving landscape, and a dire scarcity of resources. But when her and her companions are finally rescued, she finds the return to ordinary life to be anything but simple. Memories of her horrific fight for survival haunt her, the media hounds her for details that she can't bear to relive, and she finds herself struggling to connect with her family and her loving boyfriend, Lee. Everything she thought she knew is challenged, including her former opinions on Colin-who challenged her to survive and find meaning and joy in the aftermath of disaster. Avery is drawn into a powerful love triangle as she must decide between the two men who love her-only one of whom truly knows what happened in the mountains.

Oprah.com called it "Your first must-read beach book of the summer" when the hardcover debuted last year and RT Reviews said "the riveting drama is sure to keep readers up into the night devouring each and every twist and harrowing scene." Combining an action-packed tale of life-and-death with an intense, moving love story, "Kells' assured debut is a winner" (Kirkus).
