Snow Island 

George Tibbits steps from the ferry on a Spring day in 1941, and Alice Daggett is there to watch his silent arrival with the other Islanders. He is a recluse in his forties and the owner of the Island’s twin houses. She is a sixteen year old who spends her days attending the one-room schoolhouse, running the Island’s only store, and waiting for her real life to begin. As the isolated Island community is drawn into war, ’Snow Island’ tells the story of two people who face the consequences of loss and choices made in love.
