I
just read Silver Thaw by Catherine
Anderson and I loved it.
Silver Thaw is the first of a new series by Ms.
Anderson and I’m so excited to be coming in at the start of a series and not in
the middle of one. Silver Thaw is
about a young woman named Amanda and her daughter, Chloe. They’re hiding from
Amanda’s abusive husband. Amanda works only a few hours a day at the school
Chloe attends, so they have very little funds. Amanda waits until little Chloe
goes to bed and then writes notes on little slips of paper that she releases in
the wind.
Jeb
Sterling, a neighbor of Amanda’s, finds her notes along his property and gets
upset, thinking someone is simply littering from the nearby road. However, as
he reads them, he begins to love the woman writing the notes.
Soon
a terrible storm hits the rural Oregon town of
Mystic
This
is a story of regret, hope, faith, and love.
I
couldn’t put this novel down for one second. I even tried to come up with
reasons to keep reading it after work and when I should have been sleeping for
the shift later that night, but I wanted to keep reading.
This
type of novel isn’t something that I normally read, but a co-worker had the
novel and I looked at the cover and the name, read the back cover, and I asked
to borrow it when she was finished.
I’m
glad that I did. I laughed, cried, and cringed my way through this novel. It
seems to have everything in one. I can’t wait for the next novel to come out so
that I can read it as well.
I
give this book 2 thumbs up!
