Kindle Notes & Highlights
The skies open as if a seam has torn.
Snow in Central Mississippi? In March? Confused students scurry across campus, backpacks covering heads. Classes are canceled, departmental meetings, sporting events—everything put on hold. Streets, parking lots, sidewalks empty. The campus becomes eerily quiet, a premonition. As the storm builds to its peak, three people set out on separate treks across the cold, unforgiving expanse of campus. By the end of the day, they will be pushed to the
edge, made to face oblivion together in the same refuge.
Raised by a single, mercurial mother, Rowan grew up believing disaster was always just a gin and tonic away.
