Snow Day
A Fiction Flock Box
Born to a teenage runaway, and raised in an oppressive cult, this book tells Mia’s story – one of self-reliance, trust, and ultimately, love. It’s packed with heartbreak and resilience, and once I started reading, I just couldn’t put it down.
At its heart, The Invisible Hour questions what we do for the people we love . It’s also a bit of a love letter to the power of books and stories and how they can often hold up a mirror to help us understand ourselves.
I chose this book because it celebrates survival and self-discovery, and it reminds us of the magic stories and their ability to give us hope, even when the world feels impossible.
- It explores the transformative power of books and how stories can help us find strength and purpose, even in our darkest moments
- It shows how love has the ability to both confine and liberate us
- It includes a little time slip and the ultimate book boyfriend
- Ann Patchett & Kristin Hannah
- Time slip narratives
- Women finding the courage to do what is right, even if it means sacrificing everything

What's Inside This Box?
The Book

One June day when Mia Jacob can no longer see a way to survive, the power of words saves her. The Scarlet Letter was written almost two hundred years earlier, but it seems to tell the story of Mia’s mother, Ivy, and their life inside the Community—an oppressive cult in western Massachusetts where contact with the outside world is forbidden. But how could this be? How could Nathaniel Hawthorne have so perfectly captured the pain and loss that Mia carries inside her?
Through a journey of heartbreak, love, and time, Mia must abandon the rules she was raised with at the Community. As she does, she realizes that reading can transport you to other worlds or bring them to you, and that readers and writers affect one another in mysterious ways. She learns that time is more fluid than she can imagine, and that love is stronger than any chains that bind you.
As a girl Mia fell in love with a book. Now as a young woman she falls in love with a brilliant writer as she makes her way back in time. But what if Nathaniel Hawthorne never wrote The Scarlet Letter? And what if Mia Jacob never found it on the day she planned to die?
