How do you outrun the family curse? What if you can't?
Fresh out of grad school in Michigan, on the brink of despair, directionless, David worries his parents. They don't know what to do for him, they don't know how to heal him. His doctor suggests that he needs to gain some perspective, get to know himself. And possibly a relocation would help. Maybe there is such a thing as a geographical cure?
And so he takes off for snowy, grey Buffalo. It's not the first place that comes to mind when you think of a curative place, but there, he'll stay with his cousin Flip. Maybe time with Flip will give him some distance from his parents who hardly speak to each other. Maybe it will help him to forget his own troubled past. But as it turns out, Flip's life and state of mind is even unsteadier than his own. Suddenly enlisted to take care of his cousin and to even fill in for him at his job, David falls into a new life and a new way of seeing the world. A world where, come to think of it, he doesn't mind the snow.
Don't Stop Snowing is a fresh and honest--and funny--story of the struggles we all face as we realize that we don't just inherit eye, hair, and skin color, but also the complicated psyches of our parents.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
I really tried this one, but it just didn’t work for me. This is well-written, but the story didn’t grip me. Getting through the first few chapters was tough because there is so much information. I would still check out another book written by this author.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.
