When the Avalanche Roared

Lillian Hartwick has been in the small railroad town of Wellington, Washington, caring for her cousin and assisting the postmaster when February snows bring all train traffic to a halt. Slow-witted but kind Griffin Jones, who works odd jobs for the railway while enduring taunts from other workers, has tried his best to gain Lillian's interest, but she is engaged and waiting her fiancé's arrival from California. 

Predawn thunderstorms on Tuesday, March 1, 1910, trigger a devastating avalanche, sweeping two trains down Stevens Pass. Lillian and Griffin work together to help survivors, including Griffin's tormentors. In the midst of the catastrophe their feelings for each other grow. But is it enough when Lillian's fiancé finally arrives in the spring, ready to claim her as his own?
