MARTY MARTINS grew up in Wisconsin and has experienced his share of blizzards. He retired in November 2009 after 23 years as a career prosecutor where he witnessed first hand the effects of dating and domestic violence. Before turning to the law, he was active in professional rodeo as a contestant, announcer, editor, and publicist. Marty lives in California where, in response to readers' demands to learn what happens to Chet and Melanie, he is working on a sequel.
Melanie Hondel is the all-American high school student. She is popular, pretty, and attracts the attention of more than a few boys. One of them is Chet, who Melanie thinks is handsome enough, but whose determined self-reliance she has always found a bit strange and hardly romantic. When Melanie refuses the advances of a classmate, Tommy, and is beaten by him, she flees into a blizzard and falls into a frozen lake. Her cries for help are heard by Chet, who is able to save her. They find refuge in an isolated cabin, where they shed their icy clothing and huddle together for warmth. Rescuers arrive the next day, followed closely by Melanie's father, and there is confusion and anger. Mr. Hondel insists that Chet be arrested and refuses to accept his daughter's explanation, thereby leaving everyone convinced that Chet is dangerous. What ensues is an emotional and very important story about parental expectations, the decisions teenagers and young adults must make that impact their self-respect, their confidence, and their relationships with parents and community. This is a novel about coming of age, romantic love, and the importance of trust.
