Six-year-old Cathy Sue Resse only wanted to save her family.
When her mother, father, and baby brother suddenly fall into a mysterious coma-like illness during a brutal snowstorm, Cathy does the only thing she can think of: she walks twenty-four miles through the mountains to find the town doctor.
She survives the storm.
Nobody understands why.
By morning, the illness has spread across Bailey's Creek. People fall asleep and refuse to wake. Their body temperatures drop. Their brain activity begins to synchronize. Then the unconscious patients start humming the same song.
And every strange event seems to lead back to Cathy.
A federal biological response team arrives far too quickly. They know about the outbreak before anyone calls for help. They know Cathy's name. They even know about similar incidents that have happened before.
Then the snow begins falling upward.
Something hidden inside the storm is communicating with the sleeping townspeople, and it has a name for the one child it cannot control.
Snow Angel.
Now Cathy, a tired country doctor, an increasingly suspicious sheriff, and a federal scientist with more secrets than answers must discover what has invaded Bailey's Creek before the entire town disappears into a sleep from which no one was ever meant to wake.
Because the thing in the snow does not believe it is hurting anyone.
It believes it is saving them.
And Cathy may be the only person it is willing to listen to.
A dark sci-fi thriller with eerie mystery, isolated-town horror, and dry humor hiding in all the wrong places.
