The Snow Trillium

The Snow Trillium

Nestled in the river town of Hastings, Minnesota, newly married Jillene Williams’ world shatters when she faces a heartbreaking premature labor at 22 weeks. Within the walls of St. Anthony’s Medical Center, her path crosses with Danielle Harris, a new labor and delivery nurse grappling with the realities of her dream job. As Jillene mourns her loss through the bitter winter, comfort comes through a discovered journal penned by Margo Hartman, a seventeen-year-old girl whose fiancé enlisted to fight in the Great War. The historic home Jillene shares with her husband, Matt, offers a connection across time until Jillene discovers Margo’s secret. Meanwhile, Danielle’s resolve is tested, when her new job pushes her to confront a past tragedy and her career hangs in the balance, complicated by her crush on the first-floor apartment guy, James. Throughout the novel, the women’s stories are loosely linked by the delicate threads of the snow trillium, a native flower first to bloom after the harsh Midwest winter.
