Blizzard 96 - Novel by Carl Franke

Summary:

Two distracted college seniors, Garvey and Wyatt, take a road trip to the Poconos to enliven their dull winter break.

After crashing into a ditch during a whiteout, the boys take refuge at a hotel, hang at the bar and make fast friends.

A hip truck driver, Tully, suggests the boys head on a dual mission to New England where Garvey’s rockstar girlfriend, Malee, is missing and where Tully’s estranged family is in danger.

Meanwhile, a duo of stranded bridesmaids comfort the boys and reveal their struggles with an overindulgent cop and a nefarious cult leader.

When an unspeakable event occurs at the hotel, bonds tighten.

The boys must decide whether to hitchhike home and fend for themselves…or intervene. They may not have a choice.

With two weeks until classes resume, will both the snow and their ordeals thaw?

Themes:

The story revolves around different types of entrapment.

The deadly blizzard itself is the Earthly physical entrapment that brought the characters together at the hotel.

Stranded and removed from daily routines, they realize their serendipitous encounters sparked a conquering of personal entrapments. These battles are dealt with local law, religion, and their minds
