Snow in July Sometimes it’s not easy to be a good sister. It’s a relationship where “closeness” can be overwhelming; in which love is often admixed with jealousy and envy. Erin Mulcahy has grown up in her older sister Meghan’s shadow: not quite as pretty, smart or dynamic. Just as Erin is on the verge of fulfilling her dream of going away to art school, Meghan, a single mother with a five-year-old daughter and an infant, roars back into their hometown of Butte, Montana, in a summer snowstorm, and Erin must put her plans on hold. Meghan, still beautiful and magnetic, is addicted: to men, drugs and danger. She is the world’s “most frequent flier,” taking her children, Erin and their widowed mother, Finola, along for a turbulent ride that is, by turns, darkly humorous and harrowing. Meghan promises once again to reform, but can she be believed? Or is it up to Erin and her mother to give the children the only safe haven they’ve ever known?
