The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey

A Frosty the Snowman for adults.
I bought this book at  Parnassus Books in Ketchikan, AK while on a family cruise this past spring; Ivey's descriptions of the Alaskan landscape make me want to go back every season to see the awakening and blooming of spring and the stark beauty of winter.
A beautiful, mystical story about love and loss and a reminder that in a world in which we all suffer, we must celebrate and cherish the joy that does come into our life - in whatever form and for however long.
