The Winter, Where You Stay ebook

When Juna Calloway's car breaks down six miles outside Maple Creek in the falling snow, it feels like just the latest in a long string of collapses. For seven years she poured everything into a New York patisserie - until one evening, in the middle of preparing a wedding cake, she simply couldn't go on, and left the city behind with no destination, only the vague wish to drive north. Now she stands in a sleepy little town on an icy winter's night, where the windows glow warm, fairy lights shimmer between the trees, and the scent of fresh bread drifts from a small bakery. What begins as a stopgap slowly becomes something else: a place where Juna is needed, people who truly see her, and a man who shows her that new beginnings are possible where you least expect them. But can she allow herself to stay - and to trust the fragile happiness this winter holds for her? A warm-hearted feel-good novel about fresh starts, small miracles, and the question of where the heart truly belongs. Book 2 in the 'Welcome to Maple Creek' series.
