I really enjoyed this book about a suburban mom of teenagers because Quindlen nailed the experience exactly. "Snowfall is one of the best things that can happen to a family. The centrifugal force of daily life that flings us in different directions will be stilled."

As other readers have commented, I wish I had not heard about the big "bad thing" that happens in the novel because it interfered with my reading experience. (Is this going to be the chapter when the "bad thing" happens?) Nevertheless, I liked the writing, the voice, and the ultimate message of the story. I'm one of the people who needed tissues.
