Ratings3
Average rating3.3
"Seattle, 1933. Vera Ray kisses her three-year-old son, Daniel, good night and reluctantly leaves for work. She hates the night shift, but it's the only way she can earn enough to keep destitution at bay. In the morning--even though it's the second of May--a heavy snow is falling. Vera rushes to wake Daniel, but his bed is empty. His teddy bear lies outside in the snow. Seattle, present day. On the second of May, Seattle Herald reporter Claire Aldridge awakens to another late-season snowstorm. Assigned to cover this "blackberry winter" and its predecessor decades earlier, Claire learns of Daniel's unsolved abduction and vows to unearth the truth--only to discover that she and Vera are linked in unexpected ways"--

I love Sarah Jio! I can always trust her stories to pull me out of a reading slump. They are so easy to digest with just enough serendipity to create a magical atmosphere without being cheesy. This story was such a comfort read for me.. again. The characters are beautifully drawn. I'm always blown away by the amount of character development Sarah can get into such short novels.
The mood of her stories brings back so much nostalgia for me. So ethereal and romantical. I always feel the same way I did reading and re-reading The Secret Garden as a child.
I'm honestly just sad I'm reaching the end of her backlog. But there's always re-reading.
