There were a lot of things they should have done, Robin realized, as the cold formed an icy ball inside her chest. The emergency survival pack – why had she forgotten to grab that? She thought miserably of all things inside it – matches, a space blanket, a tiny  stove . . . .  This was stupid. They should go back. People died of hypothermia in this kind of weather.

Robin is devastated when an accident on a snowy highway disrupts her family’s Christmas traditions and sends her aunt to the hospital with serious injuries. When arrangements are made for Robin’s cousin, April to live with Robin on their ranch while Aunty Liz is recovering, Robin is thrilled. However problems quickly arise when Robin discovers that April has changed and would rather be with her mother. A dangerous cross country ski trip in a blizzard helps the girls understand each other better.
