Kyra and David Winter are happier than they ever expected to be. They
have a comfortable home, stable careers, and a young son, Michael, whom
they adore. Though everyone who knows the Winters considers them
extremely overprotective parents, both Kyra and David believe they have
good reasons for fearing that something will happen to their little boy.
And then, on a perfectly average summer day, it does, when Michael
disappears from his own backyard. The only question is whose past has
finally caught up with them: David feels sure that Michael was taken by
his troubled ex-wife, while Kyra believes the kidnapper must be someone
from her estranged family, someone she betrayed years ago.
As the Winters embark on a journey of time and memory to find Michael,
they will be forced to admit these suspicions, revealing secrets about
themselves they've always kept hidden. But they will also have a chance
to discover that it's not too late to have the family they've dreamed
of; that even if the world is full of risks, as long as they have hope,
the future can bloom.
Lyrical, wise, and witty, The Winters in Bloom is an enchanting,
life-affirming story that will surprise readers and leave them full of
wonder at the stubborn strength of the human heart.
