From #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Wiggs

Revisit the tranquil shores of Willow Lake and the Bellamy family in this heartwarming tale of a woman who discovers that small moments can end up being life’s most cherished memories.

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. But Sophie’s heart needs healing…and both she and Noah need a chance at happiness.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I like to believe I am the person my dogs think I am.

I phone my parents every day, as they are elderly and adorable, and they read me stories every day of my freakishly normal childhood. I was a writer before I learned to read, by creating scribbles on paper and dictating the stories to my saintly mother. You can see examples here: https://plus.google.com/u/1/photos/104585203815605467940/albums/5587379107269629729?banner=pwa&partnerid=pwrd1.

Untold eons later, I still read and write everyday and I've gotten very good at it. I live in a ridiculously gorgeous place in the world--an island in Puget Sound, Washington where we have a lot of the same flowers you grow in the UK. But bigger slugs. Much bigger slugs.

I have lots more to tell you, so please join me on Facebook and check out pictures of my dogs and tell me what's on your mind. https://www.facebook.com/susanwiggs

Susan Wiggs has captured my heart. This series has ten books, and although I read them in order,(given the first as a gift) they can be read out of order. Susan makes sure she introduces all the characters as they come up. This is a series of feel good, happy books. There is laughter, tears, nostalgia, and irony in this book. The family relationships of her characters are real and I cannot imagine anyone not relating, or identifying. on some level with her characters. As I finish one I cannot wait for the next! Treat yourself, and meet this wonderful author.

Until Sophie nearly loses her life in a kidnapping, she doesn't realize how much she has missed out on her family life by pursuing her career in international law. She moves to a small town in New York to reconnect with her son, daughter, and new grandson. There she re-evaluates her life and becomes involved with Noah, a country vet. Ms. Wiggs has the ability to create multi-faceted characters that will resonate with the reader. Although, I don't believe this is her best book, it is a fine read that will provide hours of enjoyment. Although each book is a complete story, it is best if the series is read in order.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a Wonderful Moving Story
Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2013

I just finished `Snowfall at Willow Lake' and am still moved by this story. To watch Sophie grow from a World Peace Maker to a Small Town Mother was incredible. How she made the change and taken the challenge to become the mother she never was when her children were small was lovely to watch. To see her take a lover and later a --- ops do not want to give the end away.

What she had endured in Umoja would give anyone nightmares, but what she had to endure in the small town she moved to were both scary. People the world over can be wonderful and others so small and spiteful, which she had to overcome to be with her children. And Noah, he would be any womans' dream.

Most Romnce stories are Fluff. This story is so beyond that.

Would I recommend this book??? YES in a heartbeat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Small Town Romance for an International Attorney
Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2018
Verified Purchase
This is a romance, but the first few chapters of the story, introducing us to Sophie Bellamy, are unlike any romance I've ever read. Bellamy is an attorney accepting an honor at the Hague for her work liberating a (fictional) African country. What happens that night sets the stage for the rest of the novel. Issues touched on: family, divorce, working vs. stay-at-home parenting, small towns, May-December romance (in this case, the man is younger). The author kept me interested all the way through, and I'm looking forward to reading more of her books.

4.0 out of 5 stars For workaholic women
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2015

Fourth in the Lakeshore Chronicles pulled me in immediately because I saw so much of myself in the too-wed-to-work Sophie Bellamy, although the horror of kidnapping that she endures has never been my experience. Then there is younger-than-her Noah Shepard, the local veterinarian and her temporary neighbor. Whoa! With a vet like him in the neighborhood, who wouldn't want to adopt a cat or dog simply to bask in his beauty?

Sophie obviously agrees, but being a mom to her teenage daughter, Daisy, and her baby son, as well as 12-yr-old Max is the reason Sophie quits her job and flees to Avalon, NY. Sophie needs healing and Noah provides it, but will Sophie a) acknowledge and then b) act on her love for him? The soccer moms treat her like something they'd scrape off the bottom of their shoes and another local makes clear she's way too old for Noah. Her parents' expectations that she will go back to her high-powered position as an attorney for the International Court further pile on the guilt about what she SHOULD do, refusing to accept what she WANTS to do, where she WANTS to be.

Come on, Sophie. Step up and be a real woman, the mom you want to be, before it's too late. Will she hear my plea? Read for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent story
Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2013

This was a wonderful story about a divorced working mother who realized that, although she had been doing noble humanitarian work, she missed a great deal of her children's lives. After a terrifying experience she decided to make serious changes in her life, and made a decision to move back to the town in which her children were living with their dad and his new wife to be a more involved mom.
She is an excellent writer and this story tugs at the heart strings of every working mom who feels that she is neglecting her family, because it truly is NOT easy to have "it all".
