Experience what it is like being caught on lonely Pennsylvania country roads at night during a terrifying blizzard with Mimosa and the Robinson Family. No one has a cell phone to call for help; it's 1894. What would you have done? Could you have survived?

The storm that trapped the Robinson family took place in America during a period of horse-drawn wagons, trolleys, the new electric light—and the end of the era of the gravity railroad in Carbondale, Pennsylvania. John Roebling, designer of the Brooklyn Bridge, had designed the wire rope for the cable system for this gravity railroad, as well as the suspension canal from Honesdale to the Hudson River, for transporting the coal from Carbondale mines.

In addition, at this time lived new prophets: weathermen. Experience this unique time in history through the eyes of the Robinsons. Ride with Mimosa and her sister, Lillian, in personal conflict, in their horse-drawn wagon along the byways to Grandfather's. The destination is twenty-five miles away from home. Travel the road also with their father, T.C., into the surprise of their lives: the challenge of their faith. This is the harrowing report of what happened.
