Snowglobe Connections Books in Order

Snowglobe Connections is a set of three linked novels about women whose carefully managed lives are interrupted by an unusual heirloom. Each story has a new lead character and its own setting, but a mysterious snowglobe creates the thread between them. It is less about solving the snowglobe's secret than about what it wakes up in the people who encounter it.

The first book, Stray Affections, introduces Cassandra "Cassie" Higgins in Wanonishaw, Minnesota. Cassie is raising four boys, running a home daycare, and doing her best to keep life moving. When she buys a snowglobe at a collectors' convention, it brings back memories of a childhood stray, her beloved Grandpa Wonky, and a painful relationship with her mother, Bad Betty.

Some things won't stay packed away forever.

In Divine Appointments, the focus shifts to Josie Brooks, a successful Chicago consultant who prides herself on control and efficiency. As she approaches fifty, an economic downturn and a difficult corporate assignment expose the human cost behind the numbers she is used to managing. The snowglobe enters her orderly world just as loneliness, grief, and a desire for real connection begin to make that order feel less secure.

Finding Our Way Home follows Sasha Davis, a principal ballerina whose injury ends the career she built her identity around. She returns to her Minnesota hometown to heal, then reluctantly hires nineteen-year-old Evelyn Burt as a live-in aide. Sasha and Evelyn are opposites in age, temperament, and expectations, but their uneasy arrangement becomes a friendship that asks both women to face what they have been avoiding.

These are warm, contemporary stories with faith woven into daily life rather than treated as a lecture. The tension comes from family wounds, loss, difficult choices, and the fear that it may be too late to begin again. There is humor, especially when people with strong opinions are forced into close quarters.

Read the books in order for the small connections between them and for the changing role of the snowglobe. Still, each novel has a complete emotional arc, so readers can settle into any one of them when they want a hopeful story about forgiveness, friendship, and finding a way forward.
