Nicole has always been impulsive, but this time, she finds herself in predicament far worse than anything she's experienced. Just like that, an average snow day-usually filled with hot cocoa and snowball fights-is commandeered by the stranger, who forces the siblings into a dangerous game. Confronted by past reflections, tested by present complications, and threatened by future possibilities, Nicole has until the end of the day to disentangle the riddle of her life. This suspenseful, yet winsome novel by award-winning author David J. Naiman explores the power of family and forgiveness. But take heed. The truth can cut like shards of glass, especially for those who'd rather avoid it. Sometimes, only the finest lies will do.
