I am devouring this woman's books. She has very easily become one of my favorite authors and an auto read for any book she published. Her stories have that cozy wonderful family feeling that I love. Can't wait to read more!

What a short, sweet read? This is a wonderful choice. I love Melody Carlson and her simple style.

Claire Andrews is recently widowed and has lost her husband and only child. As a painter, her gift has been totally blocked by her grief. She decides to spend a couple of months during the holidays at an isolated cabin in the Cascade Mountains. As Claire walks the woods each day, she discovers two sets of footprints in the snow that appear to be an adult's and a child's. She desperately wants to believe they are from her husband and child, but she knows realistically that it can't be. Perhaps a lost dog and the footprints can lead her to find faith, hope, romance, and her artistic talent once again.
This was a memorable and enjoyable inspirational romance. Carlson does an excellent job of developing a good plot as well as complex characters in a short novella. The pacing of the story was wonderful. At first it was slow as you felt the pain and sorrow that surrounded Claire. As she began to come to life again the pace increased as well. As Claire's artistic talent reawakened so did her faith, her desire to be with people again, and the opening of her heart to new possibilities. I particularly liked the role that snow angels and angels in her paintings played in the story line.
Definitely a good Christmas read.

(Reviewer's Note: This novella is one of three in the omnibus edition shown above, which I purchased. However, I am going to review it separately, since doing three reviews in one post would make the post much too long. It would also not allow me the space to comment on everything I want to mention.)
This is an absolutely beautiful story that in part reads almost like a fairy tale, although it revolves around a very real tragedy. The desolation and grief felt by Claire are indeed all too real, as is her total inability to paint. Carlson does a great job of depicting Claire's desperate attempts to come to terms with the loss of her husband and child, immersing the reader in her character's sorrow. She also does an excellent job of letting the reader feel what an artist feels when their talent is totally blocked.
This particular novella is my favorite of the three included in the omnibus edition I purchased. I say this because, having studied art myself, I can truly empathize with Claire. I know just how it feels when one wants to create, and can't, for whatever reason. I can also empathize with her feeling of loss at the senseless deaths of her husband and son, having suffered personal loss myself, although not of the type Claire had to go through.
Because of the strength of my empathy with the novella's central character, I found I couldn't read it, at first. I really tried -- twice. Both times, I gave up, in tears. I persisted, however, and the third time, I was finally able to get into the story.
As I read, I began to feel so bonded to Claire that I felt as if it were me in that desolate cabin, struggling with my grief and the numbing inertia that accompanies a creative block. It was I who heard the eerie howling of the wind at night, I who trudged through the snow, who saw the footprints of two people I hoped were my lost husband and son, even as my rational mind repeatedly told me they couldn't be. I even saw, through Claire's eyes, the beauty of a northern landscape I have always longed for, since I've never experienced snow in reality.
It is such an awe-inspiring experience to actually become the character one is reading about in a book! It takes an author of great skill to accomplish this. Of course, my own life experiences helped this to happen, but still, Carlson is a master at accomplishing this very thing, and most especially in this novella.
When Claire starts to find her art again, she paints with no rhyme or reason. Her unconscious has taken over, and it has touched the divine, for she is painting angels without being consciously aware of doing so. It's only when she steps back to actually look at what she has created that she sees them -- half-hidden by the snow-laden trees.....
Everything that happens in this story has a magical, too-good-to-be-true quality, and yet, it does happen. It's life as we wish it could be, after a tragedy has taken place. It's the resolution we want and seek, the happily-ever-after we long for. This is what I felt as I read, this is what touched me very deeply.
The next time I cried, the tears were happy ones, because the scales had been righted, and one who had suffered so much, at last found happiness again.
Some readers might criticize this novella as a rather sentimental, overly romanticized tale that could never take place in 'real life', but the thing is, it's the magic of fictional reality that gives one pause, that makes one realize just how much wonder and magic are present in the reality beyond the pages, if only we would stop and look.
Of course, my favorite character is Claire. She is, after all, the central one. She possesses an indomitable spirit, and yet, she is also a very loving, compassionate person. This is very evident in her determination to keep a stray dog who has unexpectedly appeared on her doorstep. It's also evident in all her other actions throughout the story.
I also like Jeannie, Claire's artistic agent. She never gives up on Claire, always prodding her, although with light-hearted joking, to try to return to her art. She's a true friend, too, advising Claire on anything and everything that will help her career and personal life.
There are other, more minor characters who also play an important part in Claire's recovery, but I don't want to give too much away.
Again I state that, although some readers might find this story much too 'schmaltzy' for their taste, it totally enchanted this reader! I suppose I'm an incurable romantic, for which I make no apologies.
If, like me, you enjoy reading inspiring Christmas fiction full of heart-wrenching emotions and yet, a touch of magic and wonder, you certainly won't go wrong with this one. In fact, you will probably enjoy this novella so much, you'll want, again like me, to go back and re-read it, and more than once, too.
How interesting that this was the last novella in the omnibus collection. I don't think this was an accidental thing on the publisher's part, either. Because, of course, one should always leave the best story for last. So, if I could, I'd give this one SIX stars, instead of just five.

Hmmm... I really loved how the angel theme was interwoven throughout Claire's healing journey and the story, and her dog was another highlight; but the romance, characters, and plot sort of fell flat for me.
Thanks, @Izabella for the buddy read! ❤

I really liked this book! I knew I would like it because I like Melody Carlson, but I think I liked it even more than I thought. It started out pretty slow but I didn't even mind. It was just one of those easy-going nice flowing kind of books. It wasn't really meant to knock your socks off.
I loved the characters in this story! They were very real. And once again It was one of those books where a woman in need of starting her life over after a tragedy goes off to be alone in a remote cabin in the woods - LOVE! I wish I could do this, but without the tragedy. I really liked Claire, she had a great personality and I think we would have been friends. And even tho I am not a dog person - I loved the dog in this story! It was a very nice touch.
And finally- Tah dah - It had a GREAT ending!
This was a book that has been on my shelf for a couple years and have been wanting to read it.

Sad and sweet. Gotta love having a dog as a main part of the story. Made me want to live in a cabin and take long walks in the woods with snow falling - just not a blizzard.

I really loved and was awed by the theme of angels throughout this book, how they were woven into the title, the art, the atmosphere, everything. My other favorite part of the book was the atmosphere of being in a cabin up in the mountains in winter time, just immersing yourself in your art and your surroundings: if anyone knows me, then they'll know that is my ideal spot.
Other than those two aspects, the rest of the book just really did not resonate. The characters and the writing were shallow, immature, and repetitive.
Not the best Christmas reading season right now. 😔

This was a beautiful story of a woman who was grieving and unable to let go. As the story unfolds, she comes to terms with her loss by some amazing circumstances that occur during her stay at a mountain cabin. She begins to heal, as she learns to trust in her faith, and gets support from unexpected sources.
I am intrigued by snow- it's soft texture, the unique designs of the snowflakes, and the power to make a beautiful image out of something, as an old tree lying on the ground. Yet, it also has a power as deadly as can be, in a matter of minutes,if it is taken for granted. The descriptions of the snow in this story was so realistic, it makes one feel like making a cup of hot tea or hot chocolate to sip on,and warm you up!
I especially like the character- Michael- he made me smile a lot, you will have to read the story to find out who he is!
I highly recommend this book!

Sweet, but formulaic. Widow on the not-quite-on-the-mend meets handsome widower, acts like teen, etc., etc. Not much depth to characters or plot.
Despite the Guideposts imprint, the story is only vaguely Christian, as many "angel" stories are these days. Shouldn't offend anyone.
Hard to believe Carlson has published 150 books. Her knowledge of painting, wood stoves and wood lore seems to have come from reading other people's fiction--though apparently she has first-hand experience with all.
The writing includes all the chick-lit cliches plus obvious groaners that such not have gotten by a decent editor: "Up until now" and "actually though were quite well done" and more.

This was a very sweet read about dealing with grief during the Christmas season, as well as belief in heavenly beings. The story's religious theme was both subtly worked and fitting to the story that was told at the same time. Claire was a believable heroine, and while we don't see much of Garrett, he is a hero that fits Claire. The story revolves around Claire and it becomes very easy to empathize with her and her situation. I kept thinking I should get a grieving friend of mine to read it, it was that emotional of a story! Definitely a emotional and yet feel good read!

I picked up this little book, not knowing anything about it ... and guess what? I loved it. Claire was looking for solace after the deaths of her husband and young son. She fled to a cabin in the mountains. The artist in her could not continue painting. As Claire walked through the woods each day, she discovered two mysterious sets of footprints in the snow, an adult's and a child's. These footprints led her to paint and hope again. This book is beautifully written. Are angels real?

I loved it
I loved how the Author dealt with the true reactions of someone overcoming grief. I lost my husband of 41 years just 11 months ago and I too understand how overwhelming it can be.

“Remember, you weren’t the one who died in that accident. You’ve got to keep living, kiddo.” Claire is struggling after an accident has taken the lives of her husband and son.
With the help of a devoted dog and angels—(angels in her dreams, angels in the snow, angels that begin to appear on the canvas when she starts painting again) and her faith in God, Claire struggles back from heartbreak to find the strength and will to live on.
Favorite quote: “His tail began to wag, and as crazy as it seemed, she let that be her sign—at the same time chiding herself for allowing the least necessary piece of canine anatomy to be the deciding factor of her fate.”

I was afraid the story would be depressing, but although it started out a bit sad, it was actually uplifting.

Very fast and wonderful read!!!
Artist Claire Andrews escapes to a friends cabin in the mountains. Eighteen months ago her husband and son were in a boating accident and both drowned. She's having a hard time adjusting to her life without them and in dealing with her pain. Even in her solace and with the snow covered beauty that surrounds her she still finds it difficult to find the inspiration she needs to even pick up a paintbrush and just paint.
She finds herself deliberately completing daily tasks in order to feel like she is at least accomplishing something. One of those tasks is to go out for a daily walk. Claire soon discovers two sets of footprints, one larger and one smaller. And she finds her mind off wondering about them frequently, who they belong to, where they are staying, and in turn affecting her dreams. And on top of that she makes a new friend - Michael the dog, he just appears at her home one day and seems to have adopted her. His presence also begins to add a sense of purpose to her life. Between Michael's presence, the footprints in the snow, and her vivid dreams, she finds herself painting once again and allowing herself to once again feel hope.
It's not an action packed book by any stretch. The character is off on her own, so there is a lot of internal dialogue. She's dealing with a lot of pain, and this is about her fighting and coming out of that. Angels in the Snow is a heart warming story.

Angels in the Snow by Melody Carlson is my 17th Christmas story of the season.
This was a novella, which I normally don't like, but Melody Carlson is such a good writer I couldn't help but enjoy it. She can take a short story and give it the right amount of detail so it feels almost like a complete book. Many do not. They shorten a long story to novella size, and the brevity makes the story feel like too much is missing.
Anyway, this is a sweet story of an artist who has lost all her creativity since the accident that claimed both her husband and young son. A trip to the mountains was meant to help with healing and inspire her creative juices again.
Her healing process is hard, but God shows her grace in a number of ways while at this little cabin. Walks in the forested area prove to be sad yet amazing at times. Then some mysterious tracks (surprisingly similar in size to her late husband and son) appear regularly on her path.
Are they angel tracks?
Good writing and I enjoyed it!

Snow storms, pain, loss of loved ones, finding peace and maybe romance.
At first the story moved slowly, you could feel the pain Claire was dealing with and her lack of desire to live or paint. It wasn't until she found the dog that the story took off and she started painting again. The despair lifted and she seemed more content until
the owner of the dog came to get him. She had not been able to come to grips with her husband and sons death and sees footsteps in the snow that would have matched theirs. She follows the prints and gets lost in a snowstorm and arrives at a cabin where she meets a father and daughter. She paints snow scenes and angels and gets good reviews when her art is displayed in a gallery. While back in her apartment she remembers the little girl and paints her. The picture is also displayed but not for sale. This is a very sweet story and if you have lost someone you can understand what Claire is feeling.

Claire Andrews tries to get back to her painting after she loses interest when her husband and son die. She goes away and stays in a friends cabin in the Cascade mountains. It is the end of autumn and she wants to be alone. She takes walks in the woods and discovers foot prints on the snow. An adult's and a child's foot prints. Who's foot prints are they and why do they seem to make her want to paint again. A fast read. I didn't want to put it down.

a great story of overcoming... pushing on and not allowing defeat to take you down. I really liked her self-talk (discovery) in her isolation but she came to understand loneliness is something you allow and it's not good. that's what God told man when He created Eve... we are not meant to be lonely but isolation is good for collecting your strength...really liked the message and it's a quick read.

This was the first book I have read from Melody Carlson and I hope to read more. It was a fast read and just the kind of book I was looking for.
I liked reading about a woman,in a small cabin,in the woods, taking time for herself to heal after the death of her husband and son. The long soul searching walks was just what she needed. The rest of the story just made you feel good at the end.

Anything can happen
A good read that takes you through the mind set of one womens life after a terrible lost. Are there really Angels? This is the account of a wonder- a lost and a reiease; also a new beginning. This book will make you cry and also be happy; there is also the loved companion that comes to the rescue. All in all a good read! Kept my interest.

Angels in the Snow
I haven't read many of Melody Carlson's books, but I've never been disappointed yet. Though each and every one is different they get my attention right from the start and I have a hard time just putting then down. Melody has truly been blessed by God as she crafts each and every book.

Angels
A definite read for a wide variety of readers. Angels are messengers of God Almighty. They can tell all kinds if stories and minister in a variety of ways especially love. Another ministry angels work is through grief. In this penning God closes the door of grief while opening the door of Love.

This was the first Christian book I've ever read. It touched on faith lightly so it wasn't overwhelming. I loved the romance and the author made me feel like living in the cabin was so peaceful and serene. 4/5 stars :)
February 6, 2014
After reading many of Melody's books, this one did not disappoint me. I found her book entertaining, heartwarming, and full of insight. The characters of the story are very true to life, as is the story line of grief. I will continue to follow and enjoy Melody's books. Keep up the great job!

Fantastic
Loved Clare, Garrett and Anna and how even though they had all suffered terrible losses they were moving on. The angels were awesome, I would say more but don't want any spoilers.

Very sweet Christmas romantic story. I really enjoyed the characters. My only problem was that it was too short, I would have enjoyed the story more if the characters development was more detailed.
