Official synopsis Publisher
“Sherry Carrigan O’Toole can’t seem to apply the prescriptions she offers in her bestselling self-help books to her own life. Six years after her marriage to Brandon disintegrated and he won custody of their son, Scott, there’s no room in their lives for her. Hoping to win back the teenager’s heart, Sherry arranges a week’s skiing at the plush SkyTop Village resort.” “But Scott has other plans. Determined to evade his mother’s clutches, he jumps at the chance to join a foolhardy adventure: flying a Cessna through a nighttime storm to Salt Lake City for a Metallica concert. After the plane crashes, Scott is lost and alone in the frozen wilderness, miles from anywhere anyone would search for him.” “As Brandon and Sherry revisit the old battles that tore them apart, they have to fight a bureaucracy that wants to abandon the search even as their son struggles to survive impossible odds.” “Barely alive, Scott finally finds a cabin for shelter. He thinks his troubles are over. When he discovers the truth about the man who lives there, however, it’s clear that his terror has hardly begun.”–Jacket.
