In this powerful contemporary novel, set in an unforgettable winter landscape, Ben Campbell must find a second chance for himself and his family before hatred sinks too deeply into their lives.
"See how the wind has smoothed everything over, covering all the tracks and scars like a protective blanket. It's a perfect snow . . . I just love the way the snow hides the messes people make. It's like getting a second chance."
When Ben Campbell meets the spirited Eden Taylor, whose car is stuck in a snowdrift, he has no idea of the foreboding in her words. Since his family's move to Lodgette, Ben and his brother have been taking part in the secretive and dangerous activities of the local hate group. But slowly Ben begins to realise how misguided his actions have been.
Will it be too late for Ben to save himself or his younger brother, David?
