Blizzard Lines
Blizzard Lines is an engaging novel written by Dr Tim Hawkes, designed to be read by teenagers and young adults.
Blizzard Lines is a story set in two worlds. One is a suburban environment. It is a secure and comfortable community, but three photos, two sons and a fast car turn it into a dangerous place for some, and a death trap for others.
The second world is an uncomfortable wilderness where people must work together in order to survive. This frozen land of ferocious winds and hostile landscapes, is also a place of intimacy and healing. It is a continent that grows heroes and births great tales of adventure.
Blizzard Lines describes the timeless conflict between one generation and another. It also describes the getting of wisdom and the growth of understanding.
