Record Lows: The Major Debut of 2027 By C J Green (Trade Paperback)

It’s 1977 and in a backwater town in upstate New York, a blizzard is gathering force. As the storm closes in, a family begins to unravel . . .

Harmon Pond, editor of the local paper, is drowning in debt and courting scandal. So when the creditor who kept him afloat vanishes without a trace, Harmon thinks it’s his lucky break. Meanwhile, his eldest daughter, Teresa—the paper’s junior reporter—sees a story that could make her name.

But for Pauline, Harmon’s devout Italian American wife, the news drags up memories she’s spent a lifetime trying to bury, and secrets she wants to keep hidden.

With their parents tangled in their own concerns, no one notices that middle-child Fran has begun sneaking out at night, or that Lonnie, the youngest, is taking dangerous risks of his own.

As the town searches for answers, the blizzard builds into one of the worst in history. Can the Pond family accept the truth, and each other, before it’s too late?
