Frozen July 1816, The Year Summer Forgot

A world gone dark. A continent driven west. What is the price of integrity when famine becomes the final measure?

In 1816, a colossal cloud of volcanic ash plunged the Northern Hemisphere into endless cold. Crops failed, livestock perished, and America's new promise of prosperity-so bright after the War of 1812-collapsed into hunger and fear. This was the infamous Year Without a Summer. Frost fell in July. Towns ran out of food, faith, and finally, their sense of right and wrong.

In the dying New England town of New Halstead, Samuel and Leah Goldman, Jewish shopkeepers devoted to honest measure and covenant, fight to preserve their family and their conscience. They believed meticulous fairness would protect them from chaos. Instead, it exposes them to it.
