A Washington Post Noteworthy Book 

In this hilarious, heartwarming tale, mother-daughter skiing champs face the bumps in their own relationship when an avalanche in a Swiss village forces them together.

Alpine skiing G.O.A.T. Claudine Potts and her daughter, Wylie, have been bred for gold medal glory. They're skiing their way to fame, but this gilded future is cut short when a fall forces Claudine's retirement and Wylie's debilitating anxiety sends her off the slopes.

With the collapse of their ski careers, their relationship falters and now it's been years since Wylie and Claudine have even spoken. They live on opposite coasts, pursuing different passions, until a chance opportunity to pair up in a European fitness competition drives them back together. Can this duo survive snow-buried regrets and family secrets and have the happy reunion they're hoping for?

Set in a dreamy Swiss village with a colorful cast of characters, Bluebird Day will make readers laugh and swoon, as Claudine and Wylie slalom through the complicated terrain of lost ambition, past mistakes, and mother-daughter love.

      Mother and daughter reconnect in this thoughtful story of forgiveness, found family, and transformation. Claudine Potts has retired from her Olympic skiing days and is now an online workout leader. Her daughter, Wylie, hasn't spoken to her in two years. Claudine was Wylie's skiing coach until Wylie collapsed under the pressure of living up to her mother's legacy. Now, Wylie and her boyfriend are training for an elite fitness competition in Berlin, and Wylie is determined to show the world that she is not a failure. When Wylie's boyfriend is injured, he convinces her to stay in the competition, but she needs a partner. Reluctantly, she reaches out to Claudine. Claudine has her own mission, though--to speak with a former friend who lives in the small Swiss town of Zermatt. The trip to is supposed to be overnight, but an avalanche traps them in their hostel, and Claudine and Wylie must resolve their differences while living in close quarters with people they barely know. A sweet tale with likable characters and heart.
