When Peter Anderson loses his job and his sense of purpose, he heads into the winter wilderness of Garibaldi Provincial Park in British Columbia seeking clarity-but instead finds himself trapped in a deadly blizzard with no way out. Freezing, starving, and losing hope, Peter is discovered by Cora Holt, a strong, soft-spoken widow living entirely off-grid in a remote mountain cabin accessible only by horseback.
Cora nurses him back to life while storms and isolation close them in for days. As Peter heals, he discovers the quiet strength beneath Cora's solitude, and she finds in him a warmth she believed she'd lost forever. But the wild has its own threats-a grizzly bear prowling the cabin's perimeter, the relentless snow, and the memories Cora has never fully laid to rest.
