"The holidays are over, but there's still much winter ahead. Katherine May suggests that you embrace your own winter, whatever that means to you. She encourages the active acceptance of sadness and difficult times, and she does not just mean the literal cold season. Wintering, she says, means 'a fallow period in life when you're cut off from the world, feeling rejected, sidelined, blocked from progress, or cast into the role of an outsider.' A personal narrative shot through with lessons from literature, mythology, and the natural world, her story offers instruction on the transformative power of rest and retreat."--Louise, Main Library
