Winter was no hardship for Ethan Beck. Plenty of firewood to heat his cabin, oats and hay for his horse, Zephyr, for Rebecca's dapple-gray pony, Starlight, and for Moo, his Jersey cow. What's hard was losing his wife and son to the fever two years ago. So when the skies turned an ominous dark purple, and the sun went down, and the wind picked up, and any animal with half a brain took shelter from the coming storm ...Ethan stepped up onto the porch. He checked the latches on one set of shutters and then the other. Satisfied, he turned toward the door.An unfamiliar sound blew to him on the gale - a high-pitched wail, barely audible above the howling of the wind. A cat? A wounded dog? Something - some poor creature - in distress.He stepped to the edge of the porch and held his lantern to the side so it would not blind him. Nothing - Nothing but snow rushing at him. Then he heard it again! Not the steady whistle of wind through a crevice, but the varying pitch of something calling for help.=�=Snow Angel is a novella-length love story set in 1870's Colorado Territory.22 chapters, approximately 37,700 wordsContent advisory: Due to some coarse language and mature subject matter, this book is recommended for ages 16 and older.
