Winter Carter is a force to be reconned with. She is the mother of a sixteen year old basketball phenom who suffers from a terminal illness, a baker, and an entrepreneur. She is able to accomplish all these things with the help of her best friend Jae Carter. 
Jae is everything you'd adore in a best friend, kind, considerate, and funny. Norian's second installation in the Seasons of Love series introduces  a more playful, all-encompassing love. We get to see the friendship blossom  into a beautiful romance. The title is fitting, as winter is the time to embrace darkness, and the growth is ushers in. This is the perfect book  for the holiday season. The theme of love in all forms, following your dreams, and growing through hardships makes this a warm and comforting read.
