Don't forget Jodi Picoult's novel The Tenth Circle; the trip to the Alaskan village sent me running for a blanket.
Barb, losing a parent is always difficult; we think they will always be there, and then they're gone. I lost my dad in June 2000 and my mom in July 2006. All of a sudden, I was the oldest member of my family, yet felt like an orphan. The love and care of family and friends is what gets us through these losses. Take care.

I think i saw the movie a few years ago, but will put Similia's Sense of Snow on my list.
I'm late replying to this message because I've been having too much fun in Breckenridge, CO this 4th of July week to peruse my email! On the holiday itself, I had a terrific book signing at Weber's Books & Drawings after watching the parade and dining on gourmet cupcakes & wine for a charity fundraiser. Then it was home for ribs, corn on the cob & flag cake and back out to watch the evening fireworks show. What a great 4th of July!
Boy, sounds like you had a blast, Authorbeth! Just thinking about ribs is making me hungry!
