    About this ebook

    Kate lives in solitude. She runs a campsite that gets no visitors in the winter months, so for a long stretch of the year she is left alone. However, this year she’s surprised by a visitor who seems to be running from something. Despite her gut instinct she decides to give in to pity and allows him to stay on her grounds, although there’s an ominous storm brewing in the sky that threatens to catch the two of them in the throes of nature.
