I can not say enough good things about this book. I liked it and I learned a lot about myself while reading it. The story is about Toni who is a reformed alcoholic and drug abuser. She has been clean for 2 years and has a son who was affected from her abuse. Not only is the book about her but also about every day people like me who have never drank or used drugs yet are addicts. The addiction may be "my time", it could have to do with finance, or it could be any number of things that we put as priorities. Yes, it is a love story but that is not the primary story.

3.5 stars. It took awhile to get into at first. I felt like I was being told yhe story instead of seeing it unfold along with the characters. The topics were difficult, and the author did a good job tackling them.

Extremely well written and heart warming. This is the first book I've read by Barbara Jean Hicks and I will definitely look for more of her books after reading Snow Swan.
