"The Snow That Never Fell" by Paul Steven Stone seems to be an interesting book that is full of educative insights. It is a unique book with fascinating story about resilient fatherhood. Single parenthood has always been discussed about mothers; however, the author tells a unique story of male-oriented divorce and journey of single parenthood. I'm so eager to read this book. I'm sure I will enjoy it. Thank you for a great review
Congrats on being BOTD!

This is such an interesting premise because I'm reading a similar book now. The author's father faced trauma, so he decided to treat his family with ignorance and indifference. However, the author vowed to never do the same thing and stopped the cycle of abuse. Congratulations on BOTD, and best wishes for future projects.

Reading about divorce can be challenging, often evoking emotions like sadness, loss, or frustration. This reflects the complex emotional journey many face when navigating the end of a marriage.

"The Snow That Never Fell" by Paul Steven Stone is a poignant tale of divorce, single parenthood, and redemption, centered around a father-son Pinewood Derby. Relatable and well-written, it's a 5-star read for adults seeking a heartfelt story.

Paul is only trying to do his best given the situation with the divorce he did not want. The pinewood derby may very well be the event that helps lighten his mood and help him heal. Thanks for the great review!

The review of the snow that never fell is a wonderful one since it has briefed us on how Paul Peterson is couping up as a single father of three children without asking for help from his ex-wife and this depicts a strong and responsible father.

Everything is centered around a Cub Scout's Father-Son Pinewood Derby. Paul's son, Mickey, asks his dad to help him build the racing car from a kit. Paul keeps putting the project off until the last minute, and there is virtually no time left to construct the vehicle. Because of his pride, Paul will not ask his ex-wife, Marilyn, if he can use his tools, which she got in the divorce, along with the house. Paul slaps the car together using his daughter's play tools and paints the car with red paint, as that is what is lying around. They only have time for one coat of paint, so the red color looks almost pink, as the wood sucks in most of the paint.
- A story about a dad who is single and with kids. Quite a different ball game, compared to the usual one with only a mother and kids. I would love to read this book and find out how he and the kids cope with each other. Thank you for an amazing review.

To be honest, I am unsure if I want to read the book or not. As a child of divorced parents myself, I have firsthand experience of the struggle the suddenly single mother had to endure to raise her children. At the same time, "divorce and being a single father" is such a rarity where I am from, because it is always mothers that get custody, since fathers lost in their new relationships abandon children without care. Congratulations on BOTD!

The author's writing style flowed throughout the pages, making it easy to understand the characters and what they were going through. This review is honest and descriptive. It makes me want to read the book.
