Light on Snow by Anita Shreve follows the lives of Nicky and her father, Rob, Dillon. Nicky's mother and baby sister were killed in a traumatic car accident just days before Christmas two years before the story begins. Rob is still in the woes of depression over the accident and Nicky is trying to navigate the complex world of moving on with her life and remembering and treasuring the past.
Then one day as they take their afternoon walk, Nicky and her father stumble upon an abandoned baby who they save. Their lives are thrown into further turmoil a few days later when the baby's mother shows up.
Light on Snow is a beautifully written novel about love and forgiveness and acceptance. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and hope you do too.
Highly recommended.
