Light on Snow by Anita Shreve

Light on Snow by Anita Shreve


My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Twelve year old Nicky Dillon and her father Robert find an abandoned newborn wile on a routine walk one cold winter evening. They quickly rush the baby to the hospital and have their life flipped upside down, and open up the memories of 2 lost family members. Nicky's mother and young sister died in an automobile accident 3 years previous and Nicky is longing for a mother figure and sibling.

After an unexpected visitor knocks on the Dillon's door Nicky and her father are brought closer together and begin to open up to each other's heartache.

At the end of this book I felt like I had just ran into a brick wall. I didn't like the ending. It just didn't seem to go with the flow of the story, I was expecting something more. This book is very heart warming and makes you wonder why people make some of the choices that they make. It was an easy book to get through and great for a chilly day at home.
