The Snow Child

Stars 5/5
The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey

Such a wonderful folktale style story. I just loved it. The book follows an older couple that relocated to Alaska to start fresh and new after the loss of son during delivery. They worked together to overcome struggles dealing with the hard work and the loneliness of being in seclusion. One night as the first snow falls, Jack and Mabel go out into the snow and build a little snow girl. The next day, they thought they saw a little blonde girl running through the trees wearing the scarf and mittens from the snow girl. I do not want to go into the story more as to not spoil it but I highly recommend it.
