From the "New York Times" bestselling author of "Prayers for
Sale" comes a powerful novel about the intersection of redemption,
forgiveness, and love. . . .
On a spring afternoon in 1920, Swandyke--a small town near
Colorado's Tenmile Range--is changed forever. Just moments after
four o'clock, a large split of snow separates from Jubilee Mountain
high above the tiny hamlet and hurtles down the rocky slope,
enveloping everything in its path.
Meet the residents whose lives this tragedy touches: Lucy and
Dolly Patch, two sisters long estranged by a shocking betrayal. Joe
Cobb, Swandyke's only black resident, whose love for his daughter
forces him to flee Alabama. Then there's Grace Foote, who hides
secrets and scandal that belie her genteel facade. And Minder
Evans, a Civil War veteran who considers cowardice his greatest
sin. Finally, there's Essie Snowball, born Esther Schnable to
conservative Jewish parents, who now works as a prostitute and
hides her child's parentage from the world.
Fate, chance, and perhaps divine providence all collide in the
everyday lives of these people. And ultimately, no one is without
sin, no one's soul is whiter than snow, and no one is without the
need for forgiveness.
A quintessential American voice and a writer of exquisite
historical detail, Sandra Dallas illuminates the resilience of the
human spirit in her newest novel.
