Inspired by The White Lotus, this is a story about the quiet unraveling of family, memory, and the ties that bind us, set against the still, snow-covered beauty of Aspen. The Wilkins family appears picture-perfect: a high-powered father, a graceful, grounded mother, and two bright college-aged children. When they arrive at a luxurious mountaintop resort for a winter getaway, it's meant to be a chance to reconnect. For Maya, a 22-year-old law school hopeful, it's a brief breath after months of stress-one last trip before everything changes. For Kieran, her younger brother, it's a chance to escape the pressure of freshman year. And for Anjali, their mother, it's a chance to hold her family together-if only just a little longer. But William Wilkins, work-obsessed and emotionally distant, arrives at the lodge with something heavier than stress. And Maya is tired of pretending nothing's wrong. Surrounded by strangers with stories of their own-a grieving man traveling alone, a too-perfect couple on a babymoon, a trio of middle-aged women soul-searching, a loud but kind group of college skiers-Maya starts to question what connection really means, and what's worth salvaging when silence has taken root. As the snow falls and tensions rise, past grief and present fractures threaten to surface. Not everyone came to Solstice Ridge to heal. But everyone will leave changed.

A football player and a cheerleader. The ideal and stereotypical couple right? Think again. Grayson Cooper charming, attractive, and stereotypically arrogant. Grayson is the star quarterback of Ocean City High and the most popular guy. One of those guys that a girl would die if he even talked to them. However even if it didn't seem like it Grayson hated the brainless seeming idiots that flirted with him. This is probably why he's so intrigued by the new girl who defies the stereotypes and isn't what everybody says she is. Aspen Peterson the new girl at Ocean City High new to Florida period. She is not only known as the new girl. Aspen is the captain of the cheerleaders after showing everyone out at tryouts. Blue eyes, dirty blonde hair, nice body, sounds like the stereotypical cheerleader. But that's not what Aspen is. She isn't interested in dating an empty-headed person who knows nothing, doesn't really care about prom, or the empty-headed people who think she sleeps around. Aspen is a free spirit girl, who isn't afraid "to be one of the boys", isn't afraid to be herself, but is afraid to be loved or let anybody in after a difficult past. Aspen vows not to fall in love, because of still struggling to let go. Will all that change when two people who think they're completely different, but really have more in common than they think cross paths? ★ I wrote this when I was in middle school (12-14 years old). It's cringey, some parts don't make sense since I have yet to edit it yet but it is a cute book. You've been warned :) ★ - this book has no smut. it's rated mature due to language. *Completed December 2016* (Cover by - ashtonlirwin ) !!!!!! - THIS IS NOT A DOLAN FANFIC - !!!!! * Please don't translate this book *
