About this ebook

In this debut novel, Peter is a simple man who lives by a simple truth--a person gains strength by leaning on his constants. To him, those constants are the factory where he works, the family he loves, and the God who sustains him. But when news of job cuts comes against the backdrop of an unexpected snowstorm, his life becomes filled with far more doubts than certainties.
With humor and a gift for storytelling, Billy Coffey brings you along as he spends his snow day encountering family, friends, and strangers of his small Virginia town. All have had their own battles with life's storms. Some have found redemption. Others are still seeking it. But each one offers a piece to the puzzle of why we must sometimes suffer loss, and each one will help Peter find a greater truth--our lives are made beautiful not by our big moments, but our little ones.

Ratings and reviews

Simply yet beautifully written, Snow Day reminds us that the most important things in life aren't things at all. Peter Boyd awakens to find one of his constants--the mountain view outside his bedroom window--masked by an unexpected snow storm. Facing his own internal storm, the possibility of a lay off at the factory where he works right before Christmas, he decides to call in well. He takes a snow day. As you follow Peter around that day, you will meet an array of colorful characters who remind him of his real constants. Billy Coffey is a gifted storyteller, the best I've read in a very long time. I look forward to reading more from him in the future.
