Light on Snow sheds light on the heartbreaking reasons why a baby could be left abandoned. The baby isn’t the only victim of this crime.
Light on Snow is sobering and thought-provoking. Where has society gone wrong? When did compassion take leave? One might immediately blame the mother. But what about the father? What about the college rules? What about the parents of the mother? The church?
In Light on Snow, Anita Shreve skillfully pulls on a reader’s heartstrings through the characters. Written through the Point of View of a twelve-year-old girl who has lost her own baby sister and their mother in an accident. She falls in love with the baby and wishes her father would agree to keep her. But the story goes deeper, and I won’t spoil it on you.
I found Light on Snow in a little book exchange library. Thank you to whoever left it there to share with me. The book may be eleven years old but sadly, babies have been abandoned throughout history. Thank you, Anita Shreve, for bringing this societal issue to light through this touching story.
