Helpful Score: 3

This book tells the stories of many families - largely those with children - affected by a horrific blizzard in the plains in the late 1800's. While there are some dry sections that deal with the meteorological science of the situation, by and large the book is a fascinating glimpse of what true winter hardship is. It will make you count your blessings (like furnaces, down comforters, cars, snow blowers, etc.)
