The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey
Set in the harsh, untamed wilderness of 1920s Alaska, the story follows a childless couple, Jack and Mabel, who are struggling to carve out a life on their remote homestead. In a moment of whimsy, they build a child out of snow, only to find her gone the next morning, replaced by a mysterious, ethereal girl named Faina who appears to be the embodiment of their snow child. As the couple grows closer to Faina, they are drawn into a world where reality and myth intertwine, exploring themes of love, loss, and the enduring power of hope amidst the unforgiving landscape.
