Publisher's summary

Snow is falling around the Aspen cabin that Leigh Insley never has time to visit. As winter gathers closer she wonders if it might finally be time to sell her getaway retreat. It's only a few hours from Denver, true, but her career as a corporate lawyer has left her little time to enjoy it, and the years have ticked by, almost unnoticed.

Snow and ice are part of Margo Tosch. She's been on skis since she could strap them to her boots, and her love of the sport has taken her around the world. Now, as snowplow driver, ski instructor and shopkeeper, this Jill-of-all-trades has carved a life for herself and her daughter in the mountains she loves, where the isolation lets her keep her secrets to herself.

When their paths cross in the high-mountain air, city-dweller Leigh is certain she has nothing in common with this rustic mountain woman named Margo. But even the frostiest of hearts can be taken by surprise.

Feel-good story in a small ski town

Another sweet story by Kenna White. Very little angst, some twists, and a happy ending. Loved all the characters & the plot. In particular, loved the adorable six-year-old daughter of one of the main characters. The child’s dialog is well-written & age appropriate, a task not all authors get right. Abby Craden brings all the characters to life with her narration magic. Craden is especially wonderful with the child’s part. Don’t miss this book!

Lovely Story!

This was a lovely, well written story. The plot development was tight. The main characters had chemistry off the charts! The little girl was adorable! The overall story line was well done! Let’s not forget the excellent narrator Abby Craden. Her reading of this book made me feel like I was there watching the whole story passing me by. Loved it!

A cooling summer reading

The best time to listen to a book like that, especially when it is written so well and narrated so well, is in Austin Tx at 104F. It cools you a little. As you understood I loved this book.
