520    "An intimate, revelatory book exploring the ways we can 
       care for and repair ourselves when life knocks us down. 
       Sometimes you slip through the cracks: unforeseen 
       circumstances like an abrupt illness, the death of a loved
       one, a break up, or a job loss can derail a life. These 
       periods of dislocation can be lonely and unexpected. For 
       May, her husband fell ill, her son stopped attending 
       school, and her own medical issues led her to leave a 
       demanding job. Wintering explores how she not only endured
       this painful time, but embraced the singular opportunities
       it offered. A moving personal narrative shot through with 
       lessons from literature, mythology, and the natural world,
       May's story offers instruction on the transformative power
       of rest and retreat. Illumination emerges from many 
       sources: solstice celebrations and dormice hibernation, 
       C.S. Lewis and Sylvia Plath, swimming in icy waters and 
       sailing Arctic seas. Ultimately Wintering invites us to 
       change how we relate to our own fallow times. May models 
       an active acceptance of sadness and finds nourishment in 
       deep retreat, joy in the hushed beauty of winter, and 
       encouragement in understanding life as cyclical, not 
       linear. A secular mystic, May forms a guiding philosophy 
       for transforming the hardships that arise before the 
       ushering in of a new season"--|cProvided by publisher.
