Snowflakes in the South
Everyone knows what happens to snowflakes in the South…,or do they?
After nearly two decades on the Weaver County Commission, Terrence Benedict Monroe III is hell-bent on preserving the status quo, so when a mysterious illness emerges in Milltown, he’s going to do his best to ignore it and get his “Milltown Men” to do the same.
Meanwhile, pediatrician Dr. Deepa Kaur meets her friend Nina Gold at the local PTA meeting, and just as she’s telling Nina about the illness, Milltown newcomer Avery Lee asks if she can sit with them. The three become suspicious about what is making the kids sick. As they reach out to more women in the community their circle of friends soon expands to include Birdie Jefferson, neighborhood grandmother and small business owner from the neglected Squirrel Park section of town, Babs Marshall, the county's public information officer, and Lucille Preston, who works as Monroe’s assistant, and has seen him actively ignoring Deepa’s requests for a meeting. Together, these women navigate scandals, a medical mystery, and local politics in their quest to bring new life to their community.
Snowflakes in the South, the first novel from writing partners Rose Patrice and Jenn Kacmar, is an engaging story that celebrates the transformative power of female friendship.

What a refreshing take on Southern novels! This book is 9 to 5 meets Steel Magnolias. A group of diverse women - locals and transplants- develop a deep friendship as they come together to save Weaverville. Based on my personal experience living in a town like Weaverville, I can attest that the characters are authentic, including the villainous Commissioner Terry Monroe. This is a delightful read that addresses serious topics. I can’t wait to see what the Snowflakes tackle next!

I devoured this book in just a few short days! Loved the story of friendship among the most unlikely of friends! Great reminder that there is a seat at the table for everyone!

I bought this book, and then I gave my copy to my friend, and now I have to buy a second one, because she is passing it on to her friend.
We want it for our book club!
Okay, so, in this divided world we live in (you know we do) women come together to help a small community, very local, clean up its water, and its politics. The women do not know each other, but bump into each other as their concerns about the neighborhood of Squirrel Hill find them showing up in the same places. Eventually they help, by all of them doing a small part. Brilliant tale of friendship and community. Love that the women solve things through hanging out together. Surprising elements to the writing, and just a throughly enjoyable book. Happy and moving, which is my kinda thing these days.
