Wintershine

Description

“…a lyrical account of the beauty found in ordinary life,” by Texas Books in Review

“A book of open detail and whirling bits of memory,” by Small Press Review

“…a delicate tale of childhood that will bring tears of recognition,” by L.A. Times Reader Review

“Eve La Salle Caram’s warm hearted novel, Wintershine, portrays with love and wonder the early childhood of Beatrice Merrill who grows up in the foothills of the Ozarks surrounded by both her colorful but driven and disconnected family and the woods and hills and streams and woodspeople of her family’s back country home. It is this world of nature and the real and, sometimes, revealed personages who live within it that particularly shape Bea’s inquisitive, outreaching spirit and which, even before she enters school, become the landscape of her deepest spiritual connections. Wintershine is an affirming and honest exploration of those forces, first encountered in childhood, that connect us all, psychologically and spiritually, to nature,” Karl Barnebey, (Editor Snow Egret)
