As the winter wears on, Sally Carrol must make a decision about her future and what she truly wants out of life.The Ice Palace is a beautifully written story that explores themes of love, loyalty, and the search for meaning and purpose. Fitzgerald's vivid descriptions of the winter landscape and the characters' emotions make the story come alive, and readers will be captivated by Sally Carrol's journey of self-discovery.She rose at six and sliding uncomfortably into her clothes stumbled up to the diner for a cup of coffee. The snow had filtered into the vestibules and covered the floor with a slippery coating. It was intriguing, this cold, it crept in everywhere. Her breath was quite visible and she blew into the air with a nave enjoyment. Seated in the diner she stared out the window at white hills and valleys and scattered pines whose every branch was a green platter for a cold feast of snow.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
