Wintering by Katherine May has been described as the book of the winter season (and that's not just for it's name). "Wintering is a poignant and comforting meditation on the fallow periods of life, times when we must retreat to care for and repair ourselves. Katherine May thoughtfully shows us how to come through these times with the wisdom of knowing that, like the seasons, our winters and summers are the ebb and flow of life." To borrow a copy of Wintering, visit our online catalog: http://bit.ly/3aFU2yO And for those looking to enjoy Wintering now, you can find more at Katherine May's podcast. (Linked below.)
