Ria was living a charmed life before her dad's plane crash. Before the accident all Ria could think about was her parents divorce and having to move in with her mom and plan to prevent that from happening. In chapter 1 Ria was having the time if her life driving around town with her dad, boyfriend, and and a kid she barely talked to driving in ( what her dad claimed was Elvis Presley's car.) At the beginning of chapter 5 Ria learns that her dad's plane was having mechanical problems and they believed he went down over Lake Muskeg only to find out the rescue team only found bits and pieces of the plane but no luck of her dad. Ria is falling apart and has come to the conclusion that her mother no longer cares about her dad.
