The Weight Of Snow

"The snow doesn't care if you're ready. It just falls, until you can't see the door anymore."

For Roger, addiction was never a choice-it was a structural failure. After years of living under the "Architecture of Lying," he is finally back on solid ground. He has six hundred dollars in the bank, a straight-built treehouse for his daughter, and a roof that-for now-is holding. But in the quiet of a Maine winter, the weight of the past is as heavy as the drifts piling up against the porch.

A raw and unflinching look at the mechanics of recovery.

Roger knows that sobriety isn't a cure; it's a daily practice of maintenance. As he tries to bridge the distance between himself and his family, he realizes that some joints are harder to sister than others. When the "Lizard Brain" begins to whisper from the walls again, Roger must decide if he has built a life strong enough to withstand the coming storm-or if the weight of his own history will finally bring the roof down.

The Weight of Snow is a gritty, literary exploration of fatherhood, the chronic nature of relapse, and the quiet heroism of staying upright when the world wants you to fall.
