Escape The Past

How would you feel if you had to change your identity, leave everyone and everything you knew behind, and run for your life? In Don't Look Behind You, by Lois Duncan, teenager April Corrigan is shocked to learn that her father has been working undercover for the FBI. His testimony against a ruthless drug dealer had endangered his entire family, and now they must go into The Federal Witness Security Program. Suddenly, April must relocate and give up her friends. When she tries to reconnect with a part of her former life, a fatal mistake is made. Would you be able to eradicate your past for a new and uncertain future? What sacrifices would you make to help your family? This novel is chilling and thought-provoking and certainly one of Duncan's best.
