“After the Snow is a coming-of-age novel, first and foremost— a brutal, tough, and sometimes truly transcendent one.” This quote from The New York Times Book Review sets the stage for S.D. Crockett's "After the Snow." The novel's summary states that fifteen-year-old Willo Blake, born after the 2059 snows that ushered in a new ice age, embarks on a perilous journey in search of his family. His family mysteriously disappeared from their freezing mountain home, and Willo encounters outlaws, half-men, and an abandoned girl as he navigates this harsh, post-apocalyptic world. The Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication data indicates that the book is categorized under fiction, with specific classifications including Survival—Fiction, Adventure and adventurers—Fiction, Voyages and travels—Fiction, Missing persons—Fiction, Winter—Fiction, and Science fiction.

It is dedicated to Tim, Peter, and Willow, and includes a dedication in memory of J.E.B.S. and Margaret Heald, quoting Hosea 8:7: “For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind.”
