"Buried" by Robin Merrow MacCreedy follows the story of a young girl named Janelle who, after a tragic accident, becomes trapped in an avalanche while skiing in the mountains. As she struggles to survive in the suffocating snow and darkness, she reflects on her life, relationships, and the events leading up to the accident. With limited hope and dwindling oxygen, Janelle must confront her fears and memories, finding resilience within as she fights for her life. The story explores themes of survival, self-discovery, and the bonds that define us, painting a poignant picture of courage in the face of despair.
