Ahoy there mateys! This is a beautifully written and atmospheric read. An older childless couple moves to an Alaskan homestead in 1920. They find the new experience to be overwhelming and are slowly losing themselves and each other. But on one magical night of the first snowfall, the couple make a snow child in a rare burst of happiness. The snow child disappears but a little girl is seen running through the woods. Where did she come from? From that first glimpse, the couple’s lives will never be the same. This book is filled with a sense of wonder, beauty, and sorrow. I read this in one sitting. There is a truly lovely blend of a magical feel and a historical reality. I highly recommend this evocative tale.
