Publisher's Synopsis
Thousands of years ago, the volcanic peak of Mount Mazama erupted and fell back into itself, creating a giant crater that slowly filled with rain and melting snow to become one of the deepest, bluest lakes in the world. In the summer of 1975, Sam Hunter thinks he has won the lottery when he lands a high-paying job as a seasonal maintenance worker at becutiful Crater Lake National Park. The work won't be glamorous, so he plans to hunker down, make next year's college tuition and maybe read a few good books in his spare time. But when he reports for his first day of work in the middle of a June blizzard and finds the cabin he'll live in under a snowbank, Sam is pretty sure it won't be the uneventful summer he planned.
