Book Description:
Can a single moment change your entire life?
International lawyer Sophie Bellamy has dedicated her life to helping people in war-torn countries. But when she survives a hostage situation, she remembers what matters most--the children she loves back home.
Haunted by regrets, she returns to the idyllic Catskills village of Avalon on the shores of Willow Lake, determined to repair the bonds with her family. There Sophie discovers the surprising rewards of small-town life - including an unexpected passion for Noah Shepherd, the local veterinarian. Noah has a healing touch for anything with four legs, but he's never had any luck with women - until Sophie.
Snowfall at Willow Lake speaks from the heart about all the loves that fill a woman's life, and all the ways that love is tested and made to grow. It's the story of what comes after a woman survives an unspeakable horror and finds her way home, to healing and redemption and a new chance at happiness.

This is the 4th "Lakeshore Chronicles" book. Having read the other 3, I was a bit apprehensive in reading Sophie Bellamy's story. She was the ex-wife who virtually abandoned her kids. But Wiggs does a nice job of explaining the importance of Sophie's work and then the necessity of her moving to Avalon to be with her kids after she is taken hostage in Holland. Here is a nice romance which works through the problems of differences in life style, age differences and issues about family and children. I enjoyed this book lot!

Took me a few pages to get into the book. When I started it was wondering why I was bothering but by the second chapter was hooked.

This is Book #4 in the Lakeshore Chronicles. It was as enjoyable to read as the three preceding segments. I find each of the characters developed into full scale stories of their own to be interesting and challenging and look forward to the next in the series.

What a surprisingly good book! I was poised not to like Sophie based on how she was painted in the other books in this series. But this book has turned out to be the best so far.

It's a story told from everyone's angle. I thought it was good. Sophie and Noah have sex. They don't go into detail. I heard this book is part of a trilogy. Who are the other books about?

I really liked this book! Susan Wiggs creates great contemporary story lines that keep your interest to the end.

Sophie Bellamy has been protrayed in the earlier stories as the former wife & absentee mother - and I'm sure I had a rather poor impression of her character. Although it seemed as if Sophie was a selfish, career-driven woman, this story peels away the layers and reveals the real woman. Although it takes a life-threatening event to bring Sophie back to her family and discovery of her real values in life, she is actually a brave, caring woman. Her love interest, Noah, breathes new life (and, as a bonus, a lot of humor) to this story. I really got caught up in the lives of Sophie & Noah, and of Max & Daisy & Daisy's baby. You won't be disappointed, but expect to laugh, cry & worry about how this wonderful story will end. I've enjoyed ALL the Lakeshore Chronicles, but this one in particular touched my heart. A special place in my "keeper shelf" for these stories!
GOOD STORY. I liked that people from her other books were included in this story.
Wonderful picture of the winter scene and a very good love story.
Louisa R. (Love all Susan Wiggs books - she is a great writer and her books always make you think for days after you are done....

Wendy F. (Book #4 in the series. Terrific read. The story is charming and funny.
Jennifer V. (This was the first book I've read on the "Lakeshore Chronicles" and was glad to see it didn't loose anything from not reading the others. I loved the characters and the story as well as the additional hints to other stories that I can't wait to read the other books associated with the the small town of Avalon.
