Still traumatized by his time in Vietnam, Ray s world has shrunkto the boundaries of his small hometown of Immaculate, and the warmth of his adored family: his young sons Jacob and Ethan, and his wife Reneethe woman who waited for him during his wartime hell. But as the snow accumulates, so do the townspeople s stories, and the suspicions Ray has harbored for years start to resurface, along with his demons. As midnight approaches, and young Jacob vanishes into the deadly storm, Ray realizes that Josh s generosity has been motivated by something more than neighborly kindness. Snow, it seems, can bury everything but the past; hour by hour, as Christmas Day approaches, Ray Marak begins to lose control.This haunting novelexplores family and fidelity, and the fragility of the things we take for granted."
