Synopsis:
Avalanches happen to other people, not us.
Marital problems happen to other people, not us, especially nine days before
Christmas. At least that’s what Jack and Shaina Burke thought. Married for ten
years, avalanche control expert Jack, and ski pro Shaina, only wanted to
celebrate their December anniversary in a romantic way, until the shifting
snows on the mountain bring havoc tumbling down upon them. Can they find
renewed love in a heavenly haven of snow?
My
Thoughts:
Now
that’s what I call a romance! This was a wonderful short story about a
married couple and what a few angry words between them can do. What I loved
about it was that the romance was between a married couple.
Most
romance stories we read are between people who are not married and part of the
reason why they are attracted to the other is how drop-dead gorgeous or how sexy
handsome he is. This romance is between two people who have been married for
ten
years and have gotten to know one another’s flaws and rough edges. We don’t
know if they are perfect looking or not. But we do know that whatever they look
like, and whatever quirky habits or funky flaws they might have, Jack and
Shaina do love each other. That
is love, and that is what Ms. Lindsay shows us how God loves us.
Set
in the beautiful Steven’s Pass area of the Cascade Mountains in Washington
State nine days before Christmas, Ms. Lindsay uses her considerable gift of
descriptive language to present a story that you can easily see, taste, touch
smell and feel. She is a master at creating the image in the reader’s mind. I
felt like I was right in the vehicle with Shaina and the children after the
avalance.
This
story is a masterpiece! I gave it 5 stars. It should definitely be on your
Christmas reading list!
