ANGELS IN THE SNOW

ANGELS IN THE SNOW by Melody Carlson was read for the 2010 Holiday Reading Challenge.

From the book jacket:

Looking for solace after the deaths of her husband and young son, artist Claire Andrews flees to a cabin in the Cascade Mountains.  As Claire walks through the woods each day, she discovers two mysterious sets of footprints in the snow, an adult's and a child's.  Is she imagining them?  And how is it that the tracks are gently leading her to paint - and to hope - once again?

This was the last book in this treasury.  Another disappointment, although by this time I wasn't expecting much.  For some reason, this author hasn't thrilled me.

This particular book seemed very disjointed.  A character was introduced, and it seemed like he would be important to the story.  But he just disappeared - I don't understand why he was there in the first place.  I got the feeling that Ms. Carlson lost her way in this book.

This was the last book scheduled for the 2010 Holiday Reading Challenge.  This is one challenge I usually enjoy, but this year my choice of books left me a little dissatisfied.  Oh well, there's always next year and a whole new crop of holiday books!
