that's right you read it right! Tomorrow this one will be available!!
Blurb:
Pepper Bohannan has learned to live mostly off grid and is teaching her kids the ways of her and her husband, Trigger Bohannan.
As winter creeps in, the season changing, the mountains dusted with snow, there's work to be done. Gardens must be harvested. Supplies must be stored. Plants must be moved into the greenhouse before the first frost settles over the land.
Life on the Bohannan homestead has never been easy, but Pepper has always had her family beside her. Her husband, Trigger along with their two children: Baxley and Gunner.
At least... she thinks she does.
As the days pass, Pepper finds herself carrying the weight of the homestead alone. Trigger disappears for hours at a time, gone before she wakes and home late. The children neglect their chores. Familiar faces become fleeting glimpses in the corners of her vision. The harder she tries to hold her family together, the more they seem to slip away.
But when her sister, River, arrives with supplies and the devastating truth, the fragile world Pepper has built begins to shatter.
Now, as reality closes in and winter settles over the wilderness, Pepper must face the impossible choice between clinging to the ghosts of the life she lost or finding the strength to survive the cold season ahead.
A chilling and heartbreaking tale of love, loss, and the lies we tell ourselves to survive.
