Customer Reviews

Sinks Right into the Spirit

This is a gentle guide through tough times. I will return to this book again and again throughout my life.

Incredible book for introspection

I came across this book after the author was interviewed in On Being and cannot sing its praises enough. It is beautiful, poetic, full of humility and grace. Highly recommend, especially for those who may struggle with their own winters and winter seasons.

Finally I Understand ,

Katherine May touched my soul in a way no writer has ever done. Her eloquent, honest narrative had me blazing through her book. She uncovered a multiple truths that I have felt about myself. This is a life changing book, that for me acknowledges that it’s not “just me”.
