A gripping, openhearted novel about family, reconciliation, and bringing closure to the secrets of the past.
Early into the tempestuous decade of her thirties, Rae Langdon struggles to work through a grief she never anticipated. With her father, Connor, she tends to their Ohio farm, a forty-acre spread that itself has enjoyed better days. As memories sweep through her, some too precious to bear, Rae gives shelter from a brutal winter to a teenager named Quinn Galecki.
Quinn has been thrown out by his parents, a couple too troubled to help steer the misunderstood boy through his own losses. Now Quinn has found a temporary home with the Langdons - and an unexpected kinship, because Rae, Quinn, and Connor share a past and understand one another’s pain. But its depths - and all its revelations and secrets - have yet to come to light. To finally move forward, Rae must confront them and also fight for Quinn, whose parents have other plans in mind for their son.
With forgiveness, love, and the spring thaw, there might be hope for a new season - a second chance Rae believed in her heart was gone forever.

Good story

Something about the main character, Rae, just couldn't connect with me. She'd suffered a terrible loss, one most of us (thank heavens) have not experienced. Maybe it's harsh of me to feel like she was stuck and wasn't moving on; she didn't seem to be trying to find her new normal following that life changing night. Everyone grieves differently, so maybe if I had been able to connect with her, I would have enjoyed this read better. But the fact that Rae's character reacted to her pain by being harsh with so many people just wasn't resonating well with me.
The story itself, when it finally begins to sort out, is fairly complex in the sort of way that people's lives often are. Especially when some of their previous life choices have been dubious. I did find the second half or so of this novel to be much more to my liking as previous events came to light.
