Happy January!

January is here!  Snow coats fields and houses in a hushed landscape of wintry wonder.  Icicles drip from the edges of roofs and hillsides.  For many, the bitter cold is sufficient reason to stay indoors and enjoy a good book by a warm fire.  The NC Literary Map has several winter-themed and snow-themed titles.

Award-winning author John Marsden Ehle writes a compelling novel about a 1930s rural Appalachian community and its tight-knit families in "The Winter People".  Romance writer Cheryl Reavis describes a mother and daughter on a journey to discover their past in the NC mountains in "Blackberry Winter".  Finally, prolific children's author William Harris Hooks retells a version of "Beauty and the Beast" set in the Great Smoky Mountains in "Snowbear Whittington".
