FREE: Thee Snow Child

The listing, Thee Snow Child has ended.

By Eowyn Ivey

Alaska 192: a brutal place to homestead, and especially tough for recent arrivals Jack and Mabel. Childless, they are drifting apart--he struggling to maintain the farm, she crumbling from loneliness and despair. In a moment of levity during the season's first snowfall, they build a child of snow. The next morning the snow child is gone--but they glimpse a young girl running through the trees.
This little girl, who calls herself Faina, seems to be a child of the woods. She hubts with a red fox at her side and somehow survives alone in the Alaskan wilderness. As Jack and Mabel come to understand this child, who could have stepped from the pages of a fairy tale, they begin to love her as their own daughter. But in this beautiful, violent territory, things are rarely as they appear, and what they eventually learn about Faina will transform them all.
