Description
Being alone is like being in an ice storm. Summer solace is the disease this year - and it is absolutely frigid. Frozen hearts, sad and lonely - will they ever thaw, or stay like ice forever? A last chance for love, and a last chance to make what is wrong right. Enter Megalo, German-South African mixed boy stuck in the ignorance of his parents. He's still in Vermont, in community college because his drinking problem terrorized his finals. Ex- football star doesn't care, the alcohol keeps him happy - and that's all that matters. Well, until he wakes up in his wrecked car in the parking lot of a veterinary hospital - where he meets Mita. She's awkward and fretful about her figure, struggling through being raised by Sri Lankan parents, but living in a different culture. A girl with a lot of ambition, her summer has plans to be wasted away through work and school. Her only solace lies in the horses - Sri Lankan horse girl - an oddity within her family. Suddenly all the plans, all the stress is turned around when she finds a very odd individual in the parking lot of the vet clinic she works for. Two very different lives can learn to meld together - for it is a cold, solemn summer. In the cold, they shall drift toward warmth. For them, it means each other.
