Through the Snow Globe

Written by Annie Rains

Narrated by Therese Plummer

It’s a Wonderful Life meets Groundhog Day in USA Today bestselling author Annie Rains’s new novel, as a woman dangerously close to losing it all receives an unexpected Christmas gift that prompts a surprising journey of self-discovery
… and another chance at happiness.

Diana Merriman, a physical therapist, is probably the only person in the small town of Snow Haven, North Carolina, who isn’t looking forward to Christmas. It’s been three weeks since her fiancé Linus was critically injured when a car hit him as he biked home from the toy store he owns and manages. Watching him open
his eyes is the only gift she wants, but she can’t help losing a little more hope every day.

But an unexpected visit from a friendly neighbor and finding a snow globe of Snow Haven—a gift Linus had hidden in the closet—the night before Christmas Eve changes things in ways Diana never would have imagined. Because on Christmas Eve Diana wakes up to find that it’s not—Christmas Eve, that is. Instead, it’s
somehow December 4 all over again, the day Linus got hurt, and as mystified as Diana is, she immediately starts a plan to save her partner from his fate.

Nothing is that simple, of course. Instead of a single repeat of that day, Diana finds herself in an endless loop of December 4, experiencing every possible variation of events. Along the way, she uncovers startling truths about herself, her relationship, and even her career that illustrate the ways she’s retreated from her
life—and in the face of life’s slights and outright blows, from her deepest feelings.

Suddenly hope is second only to joy as Diana opens her heart to the people she loves in every way she can.

Reviews for Through the Snow Globe

[Andrea Author · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

After her fiancé Linus's accident leaves him comatose, small-town physical therapist Diana dreads Christmas But when she finds a mysterious snow globe, she transports back to the fateful day he was injured. Trapped reliving that same day, Diana is determined to alter destiny. As the loop reveals profound truths about herself and Linus, Diana breaks free emotionally, embracing hope and joy while discovering who she's meant to be.

This is a beautiful, heart-wrenching story. Diana is a compassionate person who has difficulty sharing her feelings with other people. I could relate to her reserve, and her struggles to control the uncontrollable. The plot was strong and kept me guessing until the end.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
