Just after midnight in a small town in Wisconsin, eight
women begin walking together down a rural highway. Career
women, housewives, mothers, divorcées, and one ex–prom
queen, they are close friends who have been meeting every
Thursday night for years, sharing food, wine, and their
deepest secrets. But on this particular Thursday, Susan,
Alice, Chris, Sandy, Gail, Mary, Joanne, and Janice decide
to disappear from their own lives.
Their spontaneous
pilgrimage attracts national attention and inspires other
women from all across the country. As the miles fall away
and the women forge ahead on their backroads odyssey—leaving
small miracles in their wake—each of their histories
unfolds, tales of shattered dreams and unexpected renewal,
of thwarted love affairs and precious second chances.In
luminous, heartwarming prose, Kris Radish deftly interweaves
the women’s intimate confessions into the story of their
brave, history-making walk.
A breathtaking
achievement, The Elegant Gathering of White Snows
tells an incomparable tale of friendship and love, loss and
liberation.
