Ash & Snow: A Short Historical Romance of the 1980 Mount St. Helens Eruption (American Ashes #13)
Gordon J. MacKenzie
Washington State, May 18, 1980. The mountain’s north face lets go and a lateral blast turns morning to night. Elsa, a diner owner with a truck and a talent for calm, and Noah, a USGS field tech with exact words and a bad road, ferry families through ashfall, steer a convoy across a ford, and keep breath moving until the sky remembers light. Inspired by the real Mount St. Helens eruption—lateral blast, ashfall, lightning in the plume—this one-sitting love story lands on earned hope, good coffee, and the habit of listening to rock.
Includes a Historical Note and an Author’s Note. Reading time: ~25–30 minutes. Clean/slow-burn; rich period detail.
