The Heart of Winter by Jonathan Evison
Over 750 5-Star Reviews!
Abe Winter and Ruth Warneke were never meant to be together—at least if you ask Ruth. Yet their catastrophic blind date in college evolved into a seventy-year marriage and a life on a farm on Bainbridge Island.
Through the years, the Winters have fallen in and out of lockstep, and from their haunting losses and guarded secrets, a dependable partnership has been forged.
But when Ruth’s loose tooth turns out to be something much more malicious, the beautiful, reliable life they’ve created together comes to a crisis. As Ruth struggles with her crumbling independence, Abe must learn how to take care of her while their three living children question his ability to look after his wife. Once again, the couple has to reconfigure how to be there for each other.
In this bighearted and profound portrait of a marriage, Jonathan Evison elegantly braids the Winters’ turbulent history with their present-day battles, showing how the oddly paired college kids became parents, fell apart and back together, and grew into the Abe and Ruth of today.
Endlessly heartwarming and moving, The Heart of Winter is a reminder that true love lives in small, everyday moments.
