No job. No heat. The wrong shoes. The wrong clothes. Discover if true love can be far behind. Imagine having always lived in Washington, D.C., and suddenly being stuck in Portland, Maine, for a year. With the pipes freezing---inside the house. And a husband who seems to have his eye on a hiking-booted L.L.Bean femme fatale rather than you. Not to mention the mother-in-law from hell who never fails to let you know that you leave much to be desired. That's Sophie Quinn's life. Lucky for Sophie (an unassertive type who's always favored daydreams over day planners), her new life is about to throw in her lap some weird and valuable opportunities to trample down her fears and transform her prospects for happiness. And true love just might come knocking on her door.... For any woman who has ever had to confront the landlord about the heat, for any woman who has ever longed for impractical shoes instead of sturdy winter boots, for any woman who has ever been in the wrong place at the right time,Snowed In will have you laughing, crying, and rooting for Sophie Quinn.… (lisätietoja)
Christina Bartolomeo has written an interesting booking about personal growth. And doing things that challenge us to step outside the comfort zone. Whether it be learning to do something new or joining a club, without personal growth, we become stagnant. Sophie is a perfect example of that.
Snowed In isn't a "fluffy" Chick Lit book. There are too many meaty issues at the heart of this story, but it would be a good book for a book club discussion. There is a reading group guide in back to help lead discussion. ( )
This poor book is actually quite good, and cursed with a chic-lit cover. I grabbed it at the library thinking I'd get something really light and fluffy for the weekend, and instead got genuine literary fiction. The author isn't quite there yet, but I'll watch for her future books. The plot is somewhat complicated, but it boils down to finding out who you are. ( )

When you're struggling desperately to keep what you've lost, you don't ask yourself if you really needed it in the first place.
...but I think it's one if the saddest types of moments of adulthood, the moment that tells us we're on our own, single souls no matter who's beside us or where we've landed.
If you can turn a corner on a guess and stumble upon an endless ocean, there's something to be said for keep going, after all.

I followed the signs and merged onto the turnpike as smoothly and perfectly as if I'd done it all my life.
