Whiter Than Snow

Dallas’ sense of time and place is pitch perfect and her affection for her characters infectious. — Kirkus.

Whiter Than Snow, Sandra’s ninth novel,opens in 1920 on a spring afternoon in Swandyke,a small town near Colorado’s Tenmile Range.  Just moments after four o’clock, a large split of snow separates from Jubilee Mountain high above the tiny hamlet and hurtles down the rocky slope, sweeping up everything in its path including nine young children who are walking home from school.  But only four children survive.  Whiter Than Snow takes you into the lives of each of these families.  Ultimately, each story serves as an allegory to the greater theme of the novel by echoing that fate, chance, and perhaps even divine providence, are all woven into the fabric of everyday life.  And it’s through each character’s defining moment in his or her past that the reader understands how each child has become its parent’s purpose for living.  In the end, it’s a novel of forgiveness, redemption, survival, faith, and family.
