Mark Cosman

A Flower in the Snow is a compelling memoir written by a father whose daughter Berlyn was senselessly murdered at a party after her high school prom. Author Mark G. Cosman thoughtfully reflects upon Berlyn's life and murder as he embarks on a personal and emotional journey seeking answers for how and why this tragedy occurred.

This is a profound and thought provoking memoir that tugs at the heartstrings, you can't even imagine what the author and his family went through, yet his personal reflections are also a tender celebration of Berlyn's young life. This was a difficult story to read, it had me experiencing the full gamut of emotions, my heart ached for the author and his family. I admire the author's ability as a heartbroken father to thoughtfully write about his struggle to understand the senseless murder of his daughter, as well as share his personal journey that took him on a quest for understanding and peace.

A Flower in the Snow is a passionate memoir that beautifully captures the emotions, anguish, sorrow, and love for a daughter who was senselessly and violently taken from this world. It is a heart wrenching but inspirational story that will resonate with you long after the last word has been read.
