Silver Thaw by Catherine Anderson - Audio Version

 Silver Thaw

by Catherine Anderson


Amanda has had to make some very large 
decisions. Decisions that come with the 
possibility of some terrible consequences. 
The choices come down to life or death. 
Amanda leaps bravely. She takes action to 
improve her life and the life of her daughter. 
Jeb comes from a large and loving family. 
He knows what love is. What it feels like. 
Jeb is out helping neighbors. As people do in 
a small town in the middle of a crazy winter
storm. Amanda is one of these neighbors. 
Jeb and his neighbor have been finding little
scraps of paper, caught on the wind. They turn
out to be an ongoing diary. Full of wishes
and regrets. 
Silver Thaw is a fairy tale of sorts. More 
modern day than we typically think of 
fairy tales as being. The modern day problems
and situations are certainly different from 
anything Cinderella would have run into. 
But reading the story and the style of 
Catherine Anderson made me think of just
that. A modern day fairy tale. 
Kate Turnbull did a wonderful job with 
the narration. Silver Thaw is more than
12 hours long. I felt like I was certainly
getting my moneys worth.
