Description
Record snow has buried the Virginia mountains, and Jennifer Walker’s evergreen farm stands isolated under the weight of ice. When a fallen oak destroys the fence line and Jeffrey Allen’s woodstove fails, the reclusive widower is forced to shelter in her farmhouse. Two people who have learned to survive alone must now share every chore, every meal, and every long winter night.
Jennifer guards the wounds left by her divorce while Jeffrey still carries the silence of his late wife’s name. Together they keep livestock warm, protect fragile seedlings, and work by candlelight when the power fails. In the scent of pine and sawdust, small moments begin to thaw what both believed was permanently frozen.
As the blizzard holds and spring approaches, they confront old griefs, legal threats, and the fear that the emergency will end and each will retreat again. Yet the same ridge that once kept them apart now offers a place to build together. On the first night of spring, under stars that have watched every season, they discover the flame they thought was out was only waiting beneath the snow.
