About the Books/Authors:
The Secret of Snow by Viola Shipman
Another Michigan-based story about starting over, family traditions, quirky everyday life, and the enduring power of love and friendship. Emotional, heartwarming and sweet with a nostalgic charm. For fans of Jenny Colgan and Nancy Thayer.
A Southern California meteorologist learns she being replaced by AI and heads home to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The change in climate is a shock to the system but not as much as now working for an old journalism school classmate and frenemy. She also is forced to confront her winter-living younger sister's death and a problematic relationship with her mother.
Viola Shipman is the pen name of Wade Rouse; these novels are a tribute to his grandmother and his Michigan roots.
