Blog Tour: A Flower in the Snow #review


Non-Fiction / Memoir
Date Published: July 2014

"Mark Cosman’s message speaks to mothers and fathers everywhere; this is a beautiful and sensitive book." Mrs. Nancy Reagan 


My daughter. Berlyn, was asleep on a fold-out couch at her high school prom party when a former classmate and high school dropout shot her in the head for no apparent reason. Her murder prompted me to leave the rubble of my beliefs and assumptions to go in search of answers to the most profound questions we ask ourselves. “A Flower in the Snow” is the result of that odyssey.

Review 
This was not an easy read. As a parent it was very difficult to wrap my head around the situation. The word that comes to mind is profound. Would I have the same thoughts and questions if I was in the same position? And even though I'm not in the position, I will say this novel was eyeopening, breathtaking, and heartwrenching. Mark Cosman has created a novel I will not soon forget.
