Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times

THE RUNAWAY NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'Katherine May opens up exactly what I and so many need to hear but haven't known how to name.' --Krista Tippett, On Being 'Every bit as beautiful and healing as the season itself. . . . This is truly a beautiful book.' --Elizabeth Gilbert 'Proves that there is grace in letting go, stepping back and giving yourself time to repair in the dark...May is a clear-eyed observer and her language is steady, honest and accurate--capturing the sense, the beauty and the latent power of our resting landscapes.' --Wall Street Journal From the author of the New York Times bestseller Enchantment: Awakening Wonder in an Anxious Age, this is an intimate, revelatory exploration of the ways we can care for and repair ourselves when life knocks us down. Sometimes you slip through the cracks: unforeseen circumstances like an abrupt illness, the death of a loved one, a break up, or a job loss can derail a life. These periods of dislocation can be lonely and unexpected.
