Our next Book Club book is…
Katherine May’s Wintering is a gentle guide to difficult times always centers the important words of Grace Paley, “There can be no hope without action.”
When I chose this book in June, I may have intuited but somehow refused to believe how soon we’d need this book’s wisdom as much a we will in the coming months and years. It steps away from toxic positivity to acknowledge simply what is. It encourages us to practice true self care in practical ways, chapter by chapter, so that we can put one foot in front of the other.
Winter with us, storing up strength and warmth with this beautiful book for the difficult times ahead.
