Left for Dead: A Winter Survival Tale
A powerful story of survival, sacrifice, and chosen family.
On Christmas Eve, seventeen-year-old Maddie Carter is abandoned deep in the Colorado mountains with her foster brother, Tyler. Injured, freezing, and miles from help, the two teenagers must fight to survive a relentless winter storm with nothing but their instincts, fading supplies, and the bond that has always held them together.
As temperatures plummet and the mountain closes in, Maddie is forced to make impossible choices—dragging her sick brother through deep snow, building fires with shaking hands, and pushing her own broken body far beyond its limits. Each step forward comes at a cost. Each night tests how much a person can endure before hope runs out.
While the world believes the family is gone, volunteer firefighter Donnie Mercer knows better. Defying orders and braving whiteout conditions, he follows the smallest signs of life into the storm—aware that finding them may cost him everything.
Left for Dead is a gripping winter survival novel about resilience in the face of betrayal, the strength found in loyalty, and what it truly means to protect the people you love when the world walks away.
