Goes Well With: Chicken noodle soup, crackers, and hot chocolate milk
Years ago, graphic novelist Shale Anderson, creator of Midnight Soul, left Robin Spencer for his agent. Now, his grandmother would like to speak to him one last time before she dies, and she expects Robin to find him and convince him to come home—no easy task, since Shale seems to be hiding from the world.
During a snowstorm, Robin barely makes it to Shale’s cottage without getting lost or stranded. Once there, she discovers that Shale is not the man he used to be. Ever since his agent died in a car accident for which he feels responsible, Shale has withdrawn from the public eye. He’s brooding and angry and consumed by guilt, and he refuses to return home with her.
With the storm worsening, Robin is forced to spend the night in a place full of malice and secrets. Danger lurks everywhere, and surviving the night might require divine intervention.
Snow Blind will remind you that God is always with you, even when he feels so far away. Though it’s a dark, haunting tale with an underlying eeriness about it, it still manages to inspire while keeping you drawn into the plot.
Robin Spencer shows courage and a willingness to trust God even when nothing makes sense. Her common sense also makes her very likable, especially when she gets caught between two situations where the outcome isn’t clear. On the other hand, Shale Anderson is as tortured in his soul as the character he created, but his readiness to keep a promise is admirable. And although he has moved away from God, he hasn’t fully renounced him, giving readers hope for his future.
The atmosphere of Snow Blind is as cold and dark as the plot, giving it that extra kick of intrigue, while weaving a glimmer of hope into a seemingly impossible situation. For those who like your inspirational reads with a mysterious edge, Snow Blind is the perfect choice for your lunch hour.
