Silver Thaw Review

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 Creek. Jeb and a couple of his neighbors decide to help those that need in, just a check to on  those who can’t help themselves. And this is where the story truly begins.

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!
