\"book<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

One eye, one focus,
One week, time to finally be with Dad,
One downed plane, any chance to survive?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was easier to cope with losing one eye<\/a> at age 7 than with her dad’s leaving a few months later. Now Cougar’s adventure survival show takes him all over the world, rarely to Seattle where he left Mom and Dannielle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big surprise that he’s taking her to Peru for her 17th birthday, filming episodes with teen superstar Guy (bigger surprise that Cougar remembered Danny’s birthday at all).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But their small plane crashes far off-course in the remote Amazon rainforest<\/a>, with minimal supplies. Of course, Cougar knows everything about survival\u2026right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guy isn’t an airhead celebrity after all, even as Cassandra keeps filming the small group’s efforts to get edible plants and find their way in the pathless forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Injuries, lethal creatures, rain and rain and rain\u2026how are they going to make it to a river that could take them to civilization?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Danny is a city kid with a true blind side\u2026 she’ll just follow Dad’s lead and everything will turn out fine, just like his TV shows\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When someone you idolize turns out to be very human, then what?
