Amanda Banning and her daughter Chloe have run away to Mystic Creek to escape from Mark Banning, an abusive husband and father. In Mystic Creek, Amanda struggles, living in a run down rental and walking a mile to and from a part time job.

Jeb chooses Elderberry Lane, knowing there are a lot of older people and hoping to find the person sending the notes. At the end of a long day, Jeb notices a house at the end of Elderberry that looks abandoned. He is ready to skip it, but notices footsteps in the snow in front. When he knocks on the door, he finds a fearful Amanda. After talking to a neighbor, Amanda agrees to allow him in the house. The pipes have all broken and he tells them they have to leave. Amanda zfinally accepts that she and Chloe will move into Jeb's house for a few days. This book takes the reader through Amanda's story of abuse, escape and learning to trust and finally live and love again. She is ultimately reminded of everything she has lived through after filing for divorce and having her abusive ex show up in Mystic Creek. But with the love and support of Jeb and his family, they make it through. This is truly a must read and my favorite Catherine Anderson book ever. Review: I want a Bozo, the dog! - I read 'New Leaf' which is book 2 in the series and really enjoyed it. Usually, I will just go on to the next book, but I decided instead to go back and start at the beginning. I enjoyed this book. Catherine Anderson is a gifted writer with the ability to bring you to tears and also to laughter. This story delves into the horror of domestic abuse and how it is sometimes nearly impossible for the victim to escape. The plot was good and so was the dialogue between the characters. I would have enjoyed the book more but a few things did bother me. It was stated several times (and also in book 2) that the heroine looked a lot like the hero's mom. I found that a little icky. Also, I got SO tired of those stupid pink slips with notes on them that I would actually skip a few pages to get away from reading them. The truly shining characters for me, were the young daughter and the dog, Bozo. I enjoyed the book but it won't be one that I will reread. However, I have already purchased the next book in the series. Some language (not a lot) and sexual situations may offend some readers. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #337,787 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3,761 in Family Life Fiction (Books) #16,593 in American Literature (Books) #34,250 in Contemporary Romance (Books) | | Book 1 of 7 | Mystic Creek | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (2,854) | | Dimensions | 4.21 x 0.98 x 6.69 inches | | ISBN-10 | 0451418344 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0451418340 | | Item Weight | 7.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 432 pages | | Publication date | January 6, 2015 | | Publisher | Berkley | ## Images ![Silver Thaw (Mystic Creek) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ukZ20uYhL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Catherine Anderson's Best Ever *by B***R on January 10, 2015* Silver Thaw is hard to put down once you pick it up.

I consider it a Christmas read, even though it’s not specifically about Christmas it takes place around Thanksgiving and Christmas. It may be old-fashioned, but I love stories about struggling single mothers. And it’s also out of date these days are out of fashion, but I love when a good man comes to the rescue of a woman. Not because she can’t take care of herself, but because he feels protective of her. There are some moments of clunky dialogue in this book where the words that are written by the author sound very stilted or out of place… out of tune with how people really speak and the words people really tend to use. I’m not referring to the fact that the characters don’t tend to use profane language, as many people don’t. Just some types of words that the author uses and dialogue don’t make a lot of sense. Outside of that, I really love the book. I’ve read a couple of her other ones in the Mystic Creek series and I don’t like them as much but they’re still good as well. This one is still my favorite. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/11273585-silver-thaw-mystic-creek](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/11273585-silver-thaw-mystic-creek) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
