Product Description
Life has been far from easy for Nicolette Dorsey. Poor life choices have taken her down roads she never intended to travel. Still, she has one undeniable blessing -- her daughter, Willa -- and two sometimes blessings: her sisters Collier and Petie. But Nic has to make a decision ... one that she's sure her sisters aren't going to like. Not one little bit.But when Nic and her sisters return to Persuasion, Alabama, for their annual Christmas celebration, Nic's decision isn't the only surprise waiting for them. Their eccentric aunts have rented a room in the family home to the town's returned prodigal son, Sam Moss -- who also happens to be Persuasion's new minister. The one man Nic hoped to never see again. Before the holiday is over, the Dorsey sisters will have their secrets revealed, their motivations uncovered, and their faith ignited!

I enjoyed the relationships of the sisters and the overall feeling of this story. I found it well written and very easy reading. It is just the kind of thing I'd recommend to someone for curling up on a rainy day to read. The story about Nic and her handicapped child had some tender moments and Nic's family members provided humor. This was a nice balance. I would have liked it to go deeper into the mother and child relationship, though. At times it did seem heavy on the Christian message but since the hero, Sam, was a preacher and Nic had an out of wedlock child it did not seem out of place. Some Christian books I've read use a past sin as the reason a character can't move on. They are constantly haunted by a single mistake which becomes the lynchpin of their lives. Nic was the opposite. She refused to dwell on her past. She was an admirable character in a story I will recommend to friends.
One of Annie Jones' best! July 23, 2001

The Snowbirds is a beautiful, touching story written in Annie Jones' unique humorous way. Nic and Sam come across as real people facing life's struggles and mistakes with God's grace and guidance. Contrary to the PW review above, the faith element is not at all heavy-handed, but expressed perfectly. I laughed at the aunts' antics, shed a few tears as Nic seeks to do the right thing for her daughter, and cheered as Nic and Sam found each other and their love once again. It's a great story. I highly recommend it!

I had the privilege of reading an early review copy of SNOWBIRDS. It truly is one of Annie Jones's best ever. It's filled with characters who will walk straight from the pages into your heart. Annie Jones brings a unique voice and a sense of great excellence to her craft. Brava, Ms. Jones, for this warm and delightful work!
