Zen in a Mountain Snowstorm

Brian and Anne O'Neil's primary concern is for their safety when they find themselves caught in an intense blizzard on an Idaho mountain road en route to visit friends. The couple decide to return to the nearest town in order to wait out the storm, but the first house they come across offers so much more. When Willy Piggmann sees the two strangers at his door asking to use his phone, he immediately invites them in for the night. Joining the group are Willy's sister, Milly, her husband, Nate, and Nate's sister, Paulie. Together, the six adults represent a diverse set of occupations and backgrounds. However, for one magical night their varied interests resonated as they pursued a series of conversations about everything from ecology to the metaphysical world. Through his characters and their conversation, author Philip I. Moynihan tackles a number of important topics relevant to society today. As the group looks toward the future of medicine, microelectronics, and more, Moynihan demonstrates how different disciplines add new facets to the discussion. Zen in a Mountain Snowstorm will broaden your mind about the world around you and help you realize the amazing contributions you too can make to the conversation.
