When their work visas expired, they allowed Slate to stay in their luxury New York apartment with a guardian next door. He can sponsor them for green cards when he turns twenty-one.

Their irresponsible drug and alcohol-infused rocker lifestyle could break him, but Slate is smart, sensible, and determined to be the adult in the family. The start of fall semester adds more fractures to Slate’s life. His best friend Dash isn’t in his classes, and he’s assigned to a “nightmare” semester project group. More serious problems connected to the celebrity and wealth of his parents follow—extortion, stalking, ominous texts, and a deadly attack.

“The Color of Snow” is a dramatic book with such strong characters that the constant switch of times with each chapter works out wonderfully. The story covers three important eras that have importance in the life of the main character. One is the story of Luke and Vee. The second is the story of Sophie living with her father and the third is after her father has been arrested and she is living with her grandparents. The plot is filled with heavy emotions that are not settled until the very last page. As the reader, you will see that each section stores brutal pain, young love, desperation, lies, truth, friendship, self-discovery, and hope. The book is absorbing and keeps the reader glued until the last page. $14.95 Click image to order.
