Snowed-In at Boarding School

By: Vadivellu, Bianca

The snow-draped elegance of Hawthorne Academy is built on perfection, wealth, and profound, buried secrets. For sixteen-year-old Lila Bennett, a scholarship student who always feels on the outside looking in, the elite boarding school is a precarious opportunity-not a home. When a historic blizzard traps her and six other students on campus over winter break, their world of high expectations and careful facades collapses.

With the power out and help miles away, Lila is forced into the unexpected company of her peers: the charming, secretive heir Eli Matthews; the guilt-ridden athlete Declan; and the intense, quiet Ivy, whose family was shattered by a scandal the school tried to bury. As they fight to keep the Headmaster alive and restore order, their isolation becomes a crucible. They are forced to trade their perfect roles for their painful truths.

In the glow of firelight, first love blossoms between Lila and Eli, built on vulnerability rather than veneer. Yet, their bond is tested by the shocking secrets that emerge, forcing the group to confront difficult truths about forgiveness, guilt, and belonging. Snowed-In at Boarding School is an introspective and heartwarming story about finding connection when the world outside is cut off-a reminder that sometimes, being trapped is the only way to be truly set free.
