Follow the Water by Ellen Cochrane is the true survival story of 17-year-old Juliane Koepcke. In 1971, her plane was struck by lightning over the Amazon and disintegrated. She fell two miles through the sky, survived the impact, and trekked through the dense jungle for 11 days by following her father's advice to "follow the water" until reaching rescue.
