Synopsis

Newly divorced Karoline London needs to heal and find her normal again, as older sister Suzie keeps reminding her. But what does Suzie know about divorce? She has the perfect husband and seven gorgeous children, while Karoline had six years married to a man tormented by addictions. When Karoline meets handsome Zac Kline, things just might be looking up. Until she learns about a tragic event in ex-husband Jeremy's childhood that explains old complications, while creating new ones-complications that threaten to further obstruct Karoline's difficult path back to herself. Lighting Candles in the Snow is a novel of hope and redemption, about new beginnings and fresh starts. It is about the weak finding courage, and how shared grief in times of loss can create unbreakable bonds within families.

At turns funny and heartbreaking, Gowen writes a tender story of love, hope, and second chances." --Kathryn Magendie, Author; Publishing Editor, Rose & Thorn
