Description
On a snowy December afternoon nearly two decades ago, a father and daughter made a discovery that would forever alter the course of their lives—an abandoned infant left in the cold. Now, as Nicky reflects on that fateful day, she grapples with the complex aftermath of a family tragedy and the weight of secrets kept in its wake. Anita Shreve weaves together multiple perspectives—a father seeking refuge from society, a young woman haunted by the consequences of her own choices, and a determined detective pursuing the truth—to explore how a single moment of compassion can ripple across years and reshape destinies. This poignant novel examines the intersecting lives of those bound by an act of mercy, revealing how the past refuses to stay buried. With Shreve's signature emotional depth, Light on Snow is a meditation on redemption, responsibility, and the hidden costs of survival.
