Summary: Kek, a young immigrant from Africa, faces the biting cold of Minnesota and the uncertainty of his mother's fate. Alone in a foreign land, he wonders if the people will be as harsh as the winter. Yet, amidst the chill, he discovers warmth in unexpected friendships—a girl in foster care, an elderly woman with a dilapidated farm, and a cow that evokes memories of home. As Kek waits for news of his mother, he learns to find strength in his past and hope in his new surroundings. Will he find his place in this unfamiliar world?
