Fascinating and moving novel about a mother who loses her son during a Seattle snowstorm. As a mother of young boys, some parts of this book were painful to read as I could empathize with the main character's fear and longing. Overall, very well w...

Loved this book! Others might not agree with my 5 star rating but I'm sticking to it.
![]() This is my first Sarah Jio book and I think she is an exceptional writer. She tied the past, 1930's, and the present brilliantly. The topic broke my heart and fe... " Read more of this review » |

I am speechless. Again, I couldn't put this story down yet I wanted it to go on forever. A story of the past, the present and hope for the future. Love and hope do prevail. Also, there is nothing better than having favorite characters for a previo...

A wonderful book! I loved it from beginning to end. It was a nice blend of romance, mystery, and historical fiction. I'm looking forward to reading other books by this author.

| I wrote this novel while renting a houseboat in Seattle as my "office"--it was one of the most memorable moments of my life. I hope you enjoy the characters as much as I enjoyed dreaming them up! xoxo | |

“...Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Nothing has happened. Everything remains exactly as it was. I am I, and you are you, and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by the old familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference in your tone. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word it always was. Let it be spoken without effort, without the ghost of a shadow upon it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was. There is absolute and unbroken continuity. What is this death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner. A...more

“The definition of a true friend is not someone who swoops in when you're going through a rough patch. True friendship is when someone can appreciate your happiness - celebrate your happiness, even when she's not necessarily happy herself.”

“I was making scrambled eggs smothered in Tabasco, his favorite, when he told me about Stephanie. The way she made him laugh. The way she understood him. The way they connected. I pictured the image of two Lego pieces fusing together, and I shuddered. It’s funny; when I think back to that morning, I can actually smell burned eggs and Tabasco. Had I known that this is what the end of my marriage would smell like, I would have made pancakes.”
