BOOK SELECTION: Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times by Katherine May.
​
​
Unforeseen circumstances—illness, loss, heartbreak, or major life upheaval—can suddenly unravel what once felt stable, leaving us feeling lonely and disoriented. For Katherine May, this meant her husband’s sudden illness, her son withdrawing from school, and her own health issues that forced her to leave a demanding job. Wintering explores how she not only endured this difficult season but also embraced the unexpected opportunities it offered, blending personal narrative with insights from literature, mythology, and the natural world. Through solstice celebrations, dormice hibernation, the writings of C.S. Lewis and Sylvia Plath, icy swims, and arctic journeys, May reveals the transformative power of rest and retreat. Ultimately, she invites us to reimagine our own fallow times, modeling an accepting, cyclical view of life that finds nourishment in stillness and gently transforms hardship into the beginning of a new season.
How to Join Books & Brunch
Get a copy of the book (or listen to the audiobook), then join us for lively conversation over a shared vegetarian meal. Please bring a favorite homemade or store-bought dish, along with your own plate and silverware. Together, we’ll create a welcoming space filled with good stories, good food, and great company. Mark your calendar for the next gathering—we look forward to celebrating the joy of reading with you!
