But the couple separated soon after, owing to Signet\u2019s deadly family secret. Separated for ages, they never lose their feelings for each other. While it skirts sentimentality by a hairbreadth, Snowden\u2019s expert depiction of Mike and Signet\u2019s young love and their traumas and trials as they shuffle through life makes it a moving, deeply engaging read. Snowden beautifully evokes the legend of white swan, bestowing the story with an almost magical aura. The characters are full-bodied and carefully drawn, and the atmospheric setting of New England and Buenos Aires, Argentina adds to the intrigue. Through Santino\u2019s story, Snowden addresses grim issues of LGBT hate crimes in Argentina. Lovers of finely constructed romance won\u2019t want to miss this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>White Swan Wishes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>By Wes Snowden<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Corvent Creative<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0813ZH6MC\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy now<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pub date November 5, 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ASIN B0813ZH6MC<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Price $2.28 (USD) Kindle edition<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A poignant examination of the intricacies of love\u2026 A tale of love, loss, and pain, Snowden\u2019s latest is ripe with both emotional vulnerability and authenticity. \u00a0When 17-year-old Michael Grayson, the son of a New England scallop fishermen, met the lovely Signet Bergeron, the daughter of an enigmatic diplomat, it was love at first sight.
