Snowbound: A Western Historical Fiction

AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR HARLAN HAGUE LEADS US ON A JOURNEY THAT BRIDGES THE SNOWBOUND PRESENT WITH THE STORIED PAST OF THE AMERICAN FRONTIER.

Ten years after their college days at U.C. Berkeley, seven friends reunite at a secluded cabin high in California’s Sierra Nevada. Laughter, stories, and old memories fill the air—until a sudden snowstorm traps them inside with no way out.

With time to fill and no distractions, their host offers a challenge: each person must share a story about an ancestor, something no one else in the group has ever heard. What begins as a simple way to reconnect soon becomes something deeper.

Through gripping tales of the nineteenth-century American West—of gold seekers, homesteaders, and trailblazers—these modern-day friends begin to glimpse the hardships, hopes, and quiet heroism that shaped their bloodlines. Each story stands alone, yet together they create a sweeping portrait of a frontier nation and the lives that helped shape it.
As the fire crackles and snow piles high, past and present intertwine in ways none of them expected.

Told through a braided structure of past and present, Snowbound is a contemporary Western with emotional depth and quiet power, exploring the ways stories connect us across generations. Get your copy to step into the storm and discover the stories that endure.
