{"product_id":"light-on-snow-by-anita-shreve-copy","title":"Light On Snow by Anita Shreve","description":"\u003cp\u003eI watched my father run forward in his snowshoes the way one sometimes does in dreams, unable to make the legs move fast enough. I ran to the place where he knelt. I looked down into the sleeping bag. A tiny face gazed up at me, the eyes wide despite their many folds. The baby was wrapped in a bloody towel, and its lips were blue.'   The events of a December afternoon on which a father and his daughter find an abandoned infant in the snow will forever alter eleven-year-old Nicky Dillon's understanding of the world which she is about to enter and the adults who inhabit it: a father who has taken great pains to remove himself from society in order to put behind him an unthinkable tragedy; a young woman who must live with the consequences of the terrible choices she has made; and a detective whose cleverness is superseded only by his sense of justice. Written from the point of view of thirty-year-old Nicky as she recalls the vivid images of that fateful December, hers is a tale of love and courage, of tragedy and redemption, and of the ways in which the human heart always seeks to heal itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43531450548298,"sku":"6556e","price":7.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/9101\/8826\/files\/6556e.jpg?v=1776833274","url":"https:\/\/www.bookexpress.nz\/products\/light-on-snow-by-anita-shreve-copy","provider":"Book Express","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
