Scroll Down for a synopsis. “It’s September, the beginning of a new school year, but our heroine, Mai Gold, has ditched medical school for a solo roadtrip to the east coast in her VW Vanagon, the weight of an eating disorder in tow. At the same time, a retired couple from British Columbia are gearing up to drive clean across Canada in their beautifully restored 1974 Westfalia, though their marriage itself is in ill-repair. As both journeys unfold, the sightseers track their progress on travel blogs, though the truth is not always on the surface.Thin Ice rebuilds and revives the fairy tale of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves” as a modern day story of exploration in Canada; Snow White’s struggles with vanity and femininity, beauty and deathliness, live on in Mai Gold.”</description><title>Thin Ice</title><generator>Tumblr (3.0; @mai-gold)</generator><link>http://mai-gold.tumblr.com/</link><item><title>Returned to Sackville, where much of Thin Ice took place....</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz95zoEM0u1qkmwc2o1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz95zoEM0u1qkmwc2o2_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz95zoEM0u1qkmwc2o3_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz95zoEM0u1qkmwc2o4_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Returned to Sackville, where much of &lt;em&gt;Thin Ice&lt;/em&gt; took place. Familiar in the way that only what one has drawn can be, but different under a blanket of snow. Laughed with glee when I discovered signs warning of thin ice in the Waterfowl Park.&lt;/p&gt;
