What makes a family' That's what twelve-year-old Nicky Dillon wonders after she and her widowed father discover a wailing, abandoned baby in the snow-filled woods near their New Hampshire home. Through the days that follow, the Dillons face a thicket of decisions, each seeming to carry equal possibilities of heartbreak or redemption. Writing with all the emotional richness that has drawn millions of readers around the world to her fiction, Anita Shreve unfolds in Light on Snow a tender and surprising novel about love and its consequences.

A quick read, it raises questions to think about but is an easy read in terms of the writing. Still fighting this cold and needing easy today. A light pick.

This picture is NOT from today. 😕

However, this book IS part of my #roll100 list and would also work for #booked2022 if one is so inclined.

Not sure if this will work, but here‘s my whole list for anyone who‘s interested.

An older Anita Shreve, but the first one for me. Loved her storytelling.

This was good. It started off with a “bang” and I wanted to keep reading. Part-way through, I wasn‘t happy with some of the decisions they made – especially Nicky‘s father, being the adult. But I did like the way the book ended

I find that I typically LOVE Anita Shreve‘s novels or find them “eh”....this one remarkably fell somewhere in between at a solid like. The story is quite sad but does shine a light at the complicated concept we call family. What makes a family? Where do our responsibilities to each other start and stop? The story does take place at Christmas time but I can‘t say it put me too much in the festive mood! 🌟🌟🌟 #merryreaders #wintergames2020

The week before Christmas Nicky and her Dad discover an abandoned baby in the snow. I had read this book when it first came out, but it is so much more heartbreaking two babies of my own later. #WinterGames2020 #ReadNoseReindeer #LittenListen #CrushTheRush #ReadYourWay

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Good point. Hug those babies tight! 4y

Anita Shreve's Light On Snow was one of our 6 book club books for this quarter. I always enjoy Anita Shreve's books, and although this is an older one, I had never read it. Her writing never disappoints, her ability to tell a story that draws you in and makes you feel deeply is evident in this book as in so many of her others!
