In the Midst of Winter Overview

This novel follows the development of relationships between three people, each traumatized by their pasts, challenged by complicated circumstances in their briefly shared present, and, by the end of the book, facing renewed hope for the future. As it chronicles both the outer and inner journeys of its three central characters, the narrative also explores themes related to feminine power, the spiritual side of death, and suffering as a crucible for transformation.
