Description
Enjoy a series of 6 exciting novels featuring historic disasters that transformed landscapes and multiple lives. Whether by nature or by man, these disasters changed history and were a day to be remembered.
Lillian Hartwick has been in the small railroad town of Wellington, Washington, caring for her cousin and assisting the postmaster when February snows bring all train traffic to a halt. Slow-witted but kind Griffin Jones, who works odd jobs for the railway while enduring taunts from other workers, has tried his best to gain Lillian’s interest, but she is engaged and waiting her fiancé’s arrival from California. Predawn thunderstorms on Tuesday, March 1, 1910, trigger a devastating avalanche, sweeping two trains down Stevens Pass. Lillian and Griffin work together to help survivors, including Griffin’s tormentors. In the midst of the catastrophe their feelings for each other grow. But is it enough when Lillian’s fiancé finally arrives in the spring, ready to claim her as his own?

Advance Praise
I thoroughly enjoyed reading When the Avalanche Roared by Lauralee Bliss and the adventures of a feisty heroine and a courageous hero who find romance during a tragedy that shook the Cascade Mountains. I recommended it for your 2025 book list.
—Rita Gerlach, Author of Mercy's Refuge and other historical novels
In her latest novel, talented author Lauralee Bliss compels her characters to wrestle with the age-old question of how we trust God during a deadly catastrophe. With their differences in social standing, education, and depth of faith, the seemingly mismatched hero and heroine face tremendous odds when tragedy strikes. Their realistic emotional and spiritual journeys pulled me into the story so that I was happy-sad to reach the end.
—Johnnie Alexander, best-selling, award-winning author of Where Treasure Hides and The Cryptographer’s Dilemma
Lauralee Bliss paints with both broad strokes and fine detail the historical tragedy of the Wellington Avalanche of 1910. As readers get acquainted with the victims and heroes, they see a portrait of both the frailty of human existence and the providence of God. When the Avalanche Roared is an admirable and meaningful work of art.
—Rhonda Dragomir, author of When the Flames Ravaged
