The postcards and the photographs. A garnet ring and a needlepoint of the homestead. The aprons hanging from her kitchen door. Her soft, faded, dog-eared copy of \u003ci\u003eLittle House in the Big Woods\u003c\/i\u003e. A closet full of dresses sewn before she was born. All these things tell a story, but is it hers?\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIsabel is a single twenty-something in Portland, Oregon, who repairs damaged books in the basement of the local library, dreaming of a life she can't quite reach. She is filled with longing--for a life in Amsterdam even though she's never visited, for the unrequited love of a coworker, for a simpler time from her childhood in Alaska among the threatened glaciers she loves, and for the perfect vintage dress to wear to a party that just might change everything. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUnfolding over the course of a single day, Alexis M. Smith's shimmering debut finds Isabel looking into her past--remembering her parents' separation, a meeting with an astrologer, and a life-changing encounter with a glacier--and shows us how fleeting, everyday moments can reveal an entire life. In classic movies, in old photographs and unsent postcards, rare books, and thrifted gems, \u003ci\u003eGlaciers\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of a young woman's love of the past and a hope to make something new and all her own.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alexis M.
