Praise for Christina Bartolomeo and" Snowed In" "As sparkling and transcendent as the first snow. With an alchemist's eye, Bartolomeo makes magic with a wonderful new novel about love and friendship, need and self-worth, and the way the past impossibly tugs at the future.

This utterly charming book about finding love and courage is for every woman who has written a to-do list of self-improvement that starts where Sophie's does: 'haircut.' Engaging and funny, I was rooting for Sophie from page one." - Leslie Pietrzyk, author of "A Year and aDay" and "Pears on a Willow Tree" "Here's a book brimming with comfort and courage. Christina Bartolomeo has written a delightful novel. Snowed In is an enchanting book whose main character grows more charming by the page." - Mary Kay Zuravleff, author of "The Frequ
