While taking a beautiful drive through the mountains, Kate encounters a driving snowstorm. Suddenly, she realizes that the storm has gotten so bad that she must find cover. As she makes to way down the mountain, she comes upon a school bus that's been pulled to the side of the road. When she checks on the bus, she discovers several children awaiting the return of their bus driver, who has gone to find help.

A short time later, they come upon a large lump in the middle of the road and realize that it's the missing bus driver who has collapsed in the cold.

Arriving at this place with Ravenwood and his family seems almost predestined. Will she find the adventure and new life that she has been longing for? Only time will tell ...
