Publisher Description
The remote town of Oriska, New York, hasn't been home for Sydney Lucerno for thirteen years. She's escaped the creeping addictions and long-simmering anger that are as much a part of the landscape as the bitter cold. But when she gets the call that her mother is dying, every secret and fear she left behind is waiting to welcome her back.
Two days later, her mother's lover is dead too. And Sydney's sworn to protect a half-sister she never knew she had, a prickly teenager named Maude, with an opiate habit and a bad-news family. But more lies and feuds are poised to spring from every once-familiar corner. The predators Sydney thought she'd escaped are threatening both her and Maude. To get free, Sydney will have to discover the truth about what happened when she left—and decide what should stay buried, deep in the unforgiving snow . . .

“Felonies will continue to multiply, but the big story here is the knotty relationship between the two sisters bound together by blood and uncomfortable personal similarities they’d both prefer to deny. Hearts thaw slowly but rewardingly amid subzero temperatures and hard-won bromides about drug abuse.”

Quotes

“There’s so much to love in Susan Bickford’s newest novel, Dread of Winter: a profound sense of place, the visceral evocation of a bitter winter’s cold, a dead-on depiction of the pit of despair that is the opioid epidemic, and language so beautiful on the page it’ll give you goosebumps.”
— William Kent Krueger, New York Times bestselling author -
“Though the plot packs plenty of twists, the novel’s power comes from this pair of feisty, equally headstrong sibs, trying to figure out their relationship as they fight to survive.”
