Light on Snow by Anita Shreve

I think this is the second of Shreve’s books I’ve listened to. A 12 year-old girl and her father have moved to the country in New Hampshire from New York City after her mother and baby sister were killed in a car accident. They find a newborn baby in the woods shortly before Christmas and befriend the mother, who comes to thank them for saving the baby. A nice book, a bit slow paced, a good look at grief and how people deal with it, adolescence, nice depiction of NH winters. (listened Dec. 04)
