June Lyons has built a beautiful life in Aspen, Colorado, where she lives with her husband Shep and their young daughter Ivy. Shep is a bestselling author whose skyrocketing career has put June’s own ambitions on the backburner, but it’s a small price to pay. She has a gorgeous, mountainside home, and her sister Penny—her closest friend and confidante—lives just across town. But when June loses her second pregnancy in a tragic ski accident just weeks before her due date, the family’s world is immediately shattered, and everything that she thought she knew about her life is thrown into question.

In the months that follow June’s devastating loss, what exacerbates her despair is the fact that she can’t remember anything about the crash. Why was she on skis, so late in her pregnancy? Why wasn’t Shep with her? And what if it wasn’t actually an accident? Determined to find the answers that no one can seem to provide, June begins to piece together what happened that day, intent on unveiling the truth at any cost—even if it reveals something about herself, or her marriage, that she’d rather not face.

Brimming with secrets and twists and including a past timeline that follows June and Penny through their early years in Aspen, Whiteout excavates the thin line between fact and fiction, memory and reality, as it explores the complexities of marriage, sisterhood, motherhood, and grief.

THE LAST RUN de Rachel Weaver

A story of family, resilience, and hard work, about fiercely independent people doing the best they can and coming to the hard truth that sometimes, what takes the most courage, is accepting the help of others.

It’s been years since Ellie has fished the Alaskan waters—not since her mother died, not since her father took to drink, and not since the birth of her five-year-old son. She’s been living half a life, working a cubicle job in a small fishing town and drowning in debt while barely having the energy to be a single mom to Drew. When she finds her father lying in an alleyway, she learns he’s done the unforgivable. Pete has gambled away the family legacy, the fishing boat and license, and unless he can come up with fifty thousand in two months, the bookie will get everything, Pete will be homeless and Ellie and her son will be stuck in the grinding cycle of poverty. Ellie agrees to fish the season with her dad, bringing Drew on the boat as they chase the pipe dream of making enough money to pay off the debt. Ellie is used to the 20-hour days and the back-breaking work, and she’s used to risking her life to find the biggest catch. What she’s not used to is accepting help from others, and definitely not from a secretive homesteader who seems to have demons of his own. Ellie’s growing attraction and the dangerous Alaskan waters are the least of her worries, though. Because Ellie is hiding secrets of her own and, as the date with the bookie draws closer, she is at risk of losing it all.

THE LAST RUN is a story of family, resilience, and hard work. It’s about fiercely independent people doing the best they can and coming to the hard truth that sometimes, what takes the most courage, is accepting the help of others. Featuring a woman fighting against the limits of her existence and whose story is shaped by her relationships with the natural world, it would appeal to the same audience as Della Owens’ Where the Crawdads Sing, Shelley Read’s Go As A River, Julia Phillips’ Bear and novels by Charlotte McConaghy.
