Synopsis: A Jensen family holiday takes a dark and dangerous turn—on the infamous Donner Pass—in this epic adventure from the USA Today bestselling authors. It&’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in the High Sierras. But Smoke Jensen and his children, Louis and Denise, won&’t let a little snow stop them from heading to Reno for the holidays. There are two ways for them to get there: the long way, going around the Sierra Nevada Mountains, or the short way, going right through them. Smoke decides to take a gamble. They&’ll follow the trail that, decades earlier, brought the legendary Donner Party to a gruesome, tragic end . . . And so the journey begins. The Jensens share a stagecoach with a stranger who&’s planning to rob a bank. Smoke wants to stop him, as well as his notorious gang of outlaws. But he&’s outgunned and outnumbered. And when a blizzard traps them in the mountains, he&’s out of luck too. Like the Donner Party before them, the Jensens will be forced to do whatever it takes to survive. This time, they&’re hoping history doesn&’t repeat itself. But sometimes, the ghosts of the past just won&’t stay buried . . .
