This is a very enlightening review! I sampled the episode of Paul describing the "swirling mass of blue-shirted boys" as a Sunday gathering of cub scouts as Paul lost sight of his son Michael and was thinking about the diminutive ways of how his children look down at him as the parent whilst he was unable to appreciate the numerous piercings and studs in his daughter's ear. Your review puts my early reading experience of this novel in perspective of Paul being a single parent amid divorce. It looks like an interesting read for family-oriented readers.

A great review of The Snow That Never Fell by Paul Steven Stone. I sampled three chapters of the book this morning and agreed that this would be an excellent book to read on a Sunday afternoon. The often humourous and profound detailed description of the Pinewood Derby racecar event was very entertaining, especially how human lives and hopes intertwine. Paul Steven Stone is a master at depicting how our childhood relationships with our parents can carry over into our adult lives and how difficult it is going through a divorce when children are involved.

‪A touching story about a single father. “The Snow That Never Fell” by Paul Steven Stone delves into the life of a recently divorced single father, who wants to protect his children from the harsh realities of life but finds that he cannot always do that.‬

Paul has a lot on his plate. He is divorced and a single father of three kids. His therapy sessions are not so helpful. His childhood was not great, as his father wasn’t affectionate, and he doesn’t discuss his childhood. He puts off his son’s project to build a racing car for the Pinewood Derby. With no time and no tools, he somehow manages to put together a car. Will they win the competition? Divorce can be draining on a couple as well as their children, and the implications of it are portrayed in this book. I enjoyed reading your review. It is crisp and straight to the point.

I read the sample and immediately downloaded this book!

Growing up with separated parents, now with a son of my own near the age of Mickey - I'm really looking forward to reading The Snow That Never Fell.

[Gladis Ratish Kumar]

The review provided valuable information. The plot appears to be distinct, delving into the emotions of a single father. Exploring Paul's relationship with his father and its impacts seems worthwhile.

"The Snow That Never Fell,”a poignant, sometimes hilarious, tale of Paul Peterson’s struggle to surmount the myriad challenges of divorce and single fatherhood, plus a childhood scarred by his own father’s loveless neglect. Challenges that come to a head on a fateful day when Peterson brings his son Mickey to participate in a Cub Scout Father-Son Pinewood Derby. Written with humor, insight, and tonnages of heart, “The Snow That Never Fell” is a captivating story of a man whose need to be a “good” father is deeply rooted in his need to heal his own relationship with a father who could never show his love.
