Someone has noticed me. A secret admirer? A man with a good heart, who sees how much I actually need help, even though I never admit it? Maybe this is the beginning of a beautiful story—a romance full of hope and second chances and love.Maybe… Maybe she does matter. Maybe God sees her—as does a new-to-town music teacher who has her seven-year-old daughter gushing and her own knees buckling with his killer smile. But as Kale embraces new possibilities, a staple in her life—a man who is kind and steady, not to mention necessary for her injured daughter’s recovery—also snatches her attention in an unexpected way. Will the one pursuing her with his secret gift and kind gestures be the one her heart longs for in the end?

I enjoyed this heartwarming and charming story so much. The reader gets a real look into Kale’s life. She is a loving and caring single mother, but is overwhelmed with guilt over some things that have happened. I loved the way this story progressed, the wonderful happily-ever-after, and that it had a great epilogue!
Kale is a amazing woman raising Sydney by her self is hard at times. Joe loves helping Sydney with her physical therapy. It is truly amazing how he will drop anything to help Kale with her family. Sydney is a wonderful little girl who has taught her mom a lot about life. You will feel God working throughout this wonderful story. Jenn Rodewald is truly a amazing Christian author. You won’t be able to stop reading this book. I had the honor to review this book for the author for a honest review. I would give this book a higher rating than a five star review if I could.
I loved this book!!! There is nothing ordinary about a snowflake – each are unique and different. Just like people!!! It was great to see Kale finally notice who was right in front of her and had been there for awhile. Joe is so awesome. Amazing how the Lord has to change our perception.
Kale felt like she was completely ordinary, except where it came to her daughter, Sydney. And in that area of her life, she felt like an extraordinary failure! I related so well to her struggles with not measuring up and my heart went out to her. The surprise she experienced when an anonymous gift was left on her porch and someone shoveled her driveway for her gave her hope that maybe, just maybe someone could care for her, despite her mistakes.
I loved this beautiful story! Author Jennifer Rodewald had my heart melting. It was a sweet romance, yet it was even about Kale learning – not to love herself – but to accept the love that her Savior has for her.
As a Christmas novella, Ordinary Snowflakes really emphasized the true meaning of Christmas. I’m not talking about the “spirit of giving and kindness” “peace on earth” and “goodwill to men”. I’m talking about the fact that Jesus left His heavenly home to be born fully man, fully God, in a smelly stable. To be tempted in every way as we were and yet not sin. And then to die on the cross and rise again for our salvation!
Readers of Christian fiction who appreciate reading about changed lives with a little romance mixed in will love this book!

I was given a copy of this book for free. I was not required to give a favorable review nor was any money received for this review. All comments and opinions are my own.
Such a sweet story! I loved little Sydney, she was so smart and had just the right amount of sass.
Hiding in plain sight were the lessons of letting go, trusting God and love.
Kale’s heart had been broken, she was a little overprotective of her child, understandably so given her accident and long recovery. She had to learn to let go of some of the control and let her heart heal.
Waking up to the snow having been removed from her driveway and a mystery gift left behind is just the beginning to this “better than a Disney movie” story.
Ordinary Snowflakes by Jennifer Rodewald
Sydney can’t wait for the Snowflake Party at school and she loves the things her teacher has tuaght them all about autumn.
Her mother finds the driveway plowed of snow and a box that she scoops up and puts in her purse.
We learn about Kale’s past and how her signifacant other had just left with Sydney came down very sick…she’s a special needs child wearing braces on her legs and she jsut witnessed her going down a hill on a sled and crashing at the end.
The male at the bottom and Joe the therapist had OKed it. Her music teacher Mr. Erickson crosses their path again and invites them to the farm and they will all go the next day.
Kale knows she needs to make amends with Joe also but is checking on her parents with a picnic lunch that they can walk to.
Love hearing of the Rock Creek traditions, so cool!
Kale is very confused about which one: Joe or Craig has left her the secret Santa gift of the snowflake and who keeps shoveling snow from her drive.
Other works by the author are highlighted at the end along with a note from her.
Received this review copy from the author via bookfunnel and this is my honest opinion.
