The story of Snowe is an updated adaptation of Snow White. I delved into the personal history of her family and found to my delight a wonderful story of her parents and grandparents, not unlike my own. Personal tragedies and triumphs of yesteryear are interestingly quite parallel to modern times. After the war, while the rest of the country grew fast with new industry and economy, coastal Maine became a time capsule trying to save its land and its people. Snowes grandparents, like most young people of that era, were anxious to start out their own life, working and raising a family soon after high school. At my own risk, I revealed some of the thoughts and decisions made by Snowes grandmother. So, by observing all three generations, the reader will begin to understand how death itself was a part of that life.
