International lawyer Sophie Bellamy has dedicated her life to helping people in war-torn countries. But when she survives a hostage situation, she remembers what matters most - the children she loves back home. Haunted by regrets, she returns to the idyllic Catskills village of Avalon on the shores of Willow Lake, determined to repair the bonds with her family. There Sophie discovers the surprising rewards of small-town life - including an unexpected passion for Noah Shepherd, the local veterinarian. Noah has a healing touch for anything with four legs, but he’s never had any luck with women - until Sophie. Snowfall at Willow Lake speaks from the heart about all the loves that fill a woman’s life, and all the ways that love is tested and made to grow. It’s the story of what comes after a woman survives an unspeakable horror and finds her way home, to healing and redemption and a new chance at happiness.

"I am so glad Susan Wiggs told us Sophie Bellamy's story. In the other books, Sophie was not a very sympathetic character, but with this story you get to see things from her viewpoint and you begin to understand why she did some of the things she did. I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to go back to Willow Lake."

" As unsure as I was about Sophie before I started this book, it ended up being one of my favorites in the series! "
— Molly, 2/11/2014" Great summer fluff / beachside reading "
— Kelly, 2/10/2014" I enjoyed parts of this book. From the other reviews I have read, I gather it is the last of a short series but I didn't like it enough to go back and read the other books. "
— Sandy, 2/9/2014" Good read. Loved the characters, Sophie was great, and Noah was every woman's dream. "
— Linda, 2/5/2014" Liked it. The book is about a woman finding the meaning of family. I could not agree more that it is so important. "
— Lisa, 1/23/2014" great guilty pleasure without just being straight girl porn. "
— Lindsey, 1/2/2014" Es ist immer wieder nett, alte Bekannte aus vorherigen Romanen zu treffen, aber schade, wenn deswegen die eigentliche Liebesgeschichte etwas zu kurz kommt. "
— Nefret, 12/29/2013" This was a good book. Definitely a different story line than most romances. If someone were looking for a good book, I probably would not think of this book to recommend, but I would definitely pass the book along and say it was good. Light, enjoyable reading for sure. "
— Joy, 12/27/2013" I'm still reading! It has a great hook right off the bat. "
— Pat, 11/25/2013" I loved getting to know Sophie better. That is the funny part about reading a series like this... the characters become real people to you... girlfriends, etc... Anyway - easy, light reading! "

— Maxine, 2/7/2012" Another book of the Willow Lake series--I must've liked em' cause I kept reading em. I just am in a light, fluffy romance reading mood I guess. Do not judge me because of my fluffy ways. "
— Nicole, 1/8/2012" I wouldn't say this is one of Susan Wiggs best novels, but it is still a really good book. Like her other books, once I got into it, I couldn't put it down. She does a really good job addressing what many of us have to go through, choosing between career and family. "
— Michelle, 6/1/2011" Snowfall at willow lake is about Sophie Bellamy who is a lawyer who has been held hostage finding love where her ex-husband lives. She is very high strung while her handsome neighbor is a very easy going guy. Daisy and Julian take the first step in expanding their relationship. A very good book. "
— Melissa, 5/17/2011" This was a sweet and happy read. It made me believe that everything could work out and that all is right with the world. At least when neck deep in a Susan Wiggs novel. Good read. "
— J.D., 3/29/2011" The first book got me involved, the second and third involved other couples you were introduced to in first book. Now fourth book brings in a slightly peripheral character. Formula is the same so continues to be easy 'chick lit' read. "
— Sue, 3/22/2011" I was prepared to dislike Sophie, the main character in Snowfall. However, before the book ended, we were pretty good friends! "
— Helen, 3/19/2011" This is my favorite of the series!! Sophie is really transformed!!!! "
— Janis, 2/9/2011" Couldn't get into this one. I didn't like Sophie all that much, and the hero's quirks seemed weird to me. I hung on to this, as it's part of a series (and I've enjoyed most of them), so I may give it another try someday. "
— Gemma, 1/11/2011" I loved getting to know Sophie better. That is the funny part about reading a series like this... the characters become real people to you... girlfriends, etc... Anyway - easy, light reading! "
— Kelly, 12/16/2010" This is book four of a series and was exactly what I expected, mostly happily ever after, although there are some loose ends for the next book. Set in the catskills the series visits different houses and tells the story of their lives and how they intersect. "
— Sharon, 11/4/2010" Continuation of The Lakeshore Chronicles series. A nice addition. "
— Suelibevg, 9/6/2010" A woman who has it all loses her husband and family in the process and goes about getting her family back. A romance with a younger man lights up her life. "
— Naomi, 5/3/2010" This is one I read awhile ago and failed to rate. I like this series and enjoy reading Susan Wiggs novels. I did not like Sophie very much in the previous books, so I was not sure I would like this book aswell as I did. "
