Summary
Anita Shreve: Light in the Snow
Nicky Dillon is a girl whose life was not only touched by an accident but completely destroyed. The event that shook her world happened one cold December afternoon, when she found an abandoned newborn baby while walking with her father in the snow. On that cold afternoon, in a snow-covered forest, a twelve-year-old girl's understanding of the world and the adults who live in it changed forever: the understanding of a father who tried to withdraw from society to leave behind an unimaginable tragedy, of a young woman who must live with the consequences of a terrible choice, and of a detective whose skill is exceeded only by his sense of justice.
From the pen of the excellent writer Anita Shreve, "Light in the Snow" is a story about love and courage, tragedy and deliverance, and the way the human heart always seeks to heal; a sad review of life and loss, faith and hope, and the moment when you need to forgive yourself and move on.
