First Snow is Christine Cunningham's first published work and the first book in the Willow Reed Series.  It is a beautiful short story - that I wish was much, much, much longer because I did not want to let it go, I did not want it to finish.  Christine introduces us to the town of Willow Reed, a quaint small town with tons of charm, where Nell and Hasan live.  Nell's sister is up for a visit from college and she tries to get Nell into the dating-spirit, attempting to show her that dating is not that bad, after all.  But Nell pines - and falls - for Hasan.  Will she be able to get past his barriers and find love?I honestly can not wait to read more about Willow Reed and its residents, as well as about Nell and Hassan's life.  The town is beautifully described, making us want to visit and stay a while; the characters are endearing in their quirks and very well developed.  I hope Christine is planning on giving us a long, long, long book for the second installment of the Willow Reed series - because the town and its residents are worth getting to know.  First Snow is the perfect short story to read in one sitting, curled on the couch under a warm fuzzy blanket. Enjoy!
