About the Book

Weather forecasters are calling for a 6- to 10-foot dumping of snow in New England, inspiring the children of Boston's mayor and the Massachusetts governor to run away from the comfort and safety of their fine homes to frolic in the frost of this deadly and devastating winter hurricane. While this is going on, the Highway Department is planning a sickout to coincide with the onset of the great storm, as the governor has not been completely forthcoming with these people. The storm strikes, the kids are nowhere to be found, and the governor is left to orchestrate a response with far fewer people than are necessary to do the job right.
