Two different women. Two different times. We meet them both. Vera and her child, Daniel, in the 1930's and Claire in today's Seattle. Claire becomes intrigued with Vera's story because her son, Daniel, disappears during a snow storm. Claire's editor has asked her to write about two different snow storms occurring in the same day. She thinks it's a story just to keep her busy until she encounters Vera.

The tale weaves back and forth between Vera's life and Claire's own. Both women have deep issues. As Claire researches Vera and her life, she finds herself solving her own problems. The book is skillfully written and easy to read. Ready for a charming and lovely story? Pick this one up.
