Set in a Colorado ski town, McLaren's remarkable breakout novel chronicles three people and their journey from loss to love; heartbreak to hope. Lives will be changed one winter in Sparkle. One tender, funny, tear-jerking novel readers won't soon forget., Set in a Colorado ski town, Kaya McLaren's How I Came To Sparkle Again is a remarkable breakout novel that chronicles three people and their journey from loss to love; heartbreak to hope Jill Anthony spent her young adulthood in the ski town of Sparkle, Colorado.

Lisa Carlucci wakes up one morning after another night of meaningless sex, looks in the mirror and realizes that she no longer wants to treat her body like a Holiday Inn. She's going to hold out for love. The only problem is, love might come in the form of her ski bum best friend, who lives next door with his ski bum friends in a trailer known as "the Kennel." Cassie Jones, at age ten, has lost her mother to cancer and no longer believes in anything anymore. She knows her father is desperately worried about her, and she constantly looks for messages from her deceased mother through the heart-shaped rocks they once collected in the streams and hills of Sparkle. Three people at the crossroads of heartbreak and healing. Three lives that will be changed one winter in Sparkle. One tender, funny, tear-jerking novel you won't soon forget.

    Thank you so much for shipping the puffles giraffe so quickly. He was carefully packaged in a box and wrapped carefully for protection. For the price I think he’s in amazing collection. Seller did say he did have a floppy next, but I was able to fix that easily. I got exactly what was pictured. Would buy from them again
