The Woman of the Forest by Betty Swinford
Jordan's parents have become Christians so he reckons that his life is ruined! He decides to leave Arizona and run away to Los Angeles.
However, Jordan doesn't plan things that well and ends up off-road... in a stolen car... in the middle of a blizzard! His plans go from bad to worse as he ends up stuck in the forest with a strange old woman, her dog and (worst of all) no computer!
The woman may have saved his life... but there's something different about her. Should Jordan be afraid - or is she just a harmless old woman of the forest?
