Touching Snow, the debut novel by M. Sindy Felin ’94, was selected as a finalist in the Young People’s Literature National Book Awards.

The first member of her family to be born in the United States, she was also the first woman in her family to attend college. Her book was published by Atheneum Books for Young Readers, a division of Simon and Schuster.
