AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR HARLAN HAGUE LEADS US ON A JOURNEY THAT BRIDGES THE SNOWBOUND PRESENT WITH THE STORIED PAST OF THE AMERICAN FRONTIER.
Ten years after their college days at U.C. Berkeley, seven friends reunite at a secluded cabin high in California's Sierra Nevada. Laughter, stories, and old memories fill the air-until a sudden snowstorm traps them inside with no way out.
With time to fill and no distractions, their host offers a challenge: each person must share a story about an ancestor, something no one else in the group has ever heard. What begins as a simple way to reconnect soon becomes something deeper.
Through gripping tales of the nineteenth-century American West-of gold seekers, homesteaders, and trailblazers-these modern-day friends begin to glimpse the hardships, hopes, and quiet heroism that shaped their bloodlines. Each story stands alone, yet together they create a sweeping portrait of a frontier nation and the lives that helped shape it.
As the fire crackles and snow piles high, past and present intertwine in ways none of them expected.
