Abstract
Originally copyrighted in 1992. M. Scott Peck is the author of The Road Less Traveled. Christopher is his son, who volunteered to illustrate the book. Young Jenny is surprised by a friendly snowflake -- Harry -- who alights on her nose and, after a short stay, evaporates. Jenny is the poet, mystic, and believer, I would say. Her brother Dennis is the scientist who explains all that he can and calls the rest an accident. Jenny's winter musings lead her to wonder whether everything has a soul and whether the ocean is the heart of the world and if we all reincarnate. She is ready finally to believe that Harry may have evaporated and gone away but also may have come back through the dam and into Babcock Brook. She says good-bye and waves her hand. I'll see you again next year! There is some water damage to the translucent dust-jacket. Was it Harry that got to my book?
