Alaska, 1920: a brutal place to homestead and especially tough for recent arrivals Jack and Mabel. Childless, they are drifting apart -- he breaking under the weight of the work of the farm; she crumbling from loneliness and despair. In a moment of levity during the season's first snowfall, they build a child out of snow. The next morning the snow child is gone -- but they glimpse a young, blondehaired girl running through the trees. Ask the Check Out Desk at Helen Matthes Library to borrow a copy of this book. The discussion will be held Thursday, February 21 at 10 a.m. at the library.
