Ways to Hide in Winter
by Sarah St. Vincent
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Set in the remote woods of Pennsylvania's Blue Ridge Mountains, this book centers on a young woman who has secluded herself from the world to recover from a past trauma. A foreigner mysteriously shows up in the area; he also seems traumatized and haunted by his past. Although their lives seem as bleak as the winter woods setting, a mutual understanding creates a tenuous friendship between them. Disturbing truths revealed at the end were difficult to fathom and highlighted the extent to which humans can hurt each other. I was absorbed by this book; it wasn't a joyful read but was worthwhile.

True Colors
by Kristen Hannah
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Kristen Hannah is great at evoking a strong sense of place and creating characters that have depth and dimension. This book was heart wrenching in its depiction of family relationships and how we can hurt others as we play out our own psychological dramas. The book also touches on deeply imbedded prejudices in society that directly affect some of the characters in the book. It was worth the read.

The Winter Sisters
by Tim Westover
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Set in a backwater part of Georgia in 1822, this novel contrasts the healing capabilities of a medical doctor and three sisters who are self-taught healers. The book was very enjoyable, at times funny and sad. Of course, the sisters methods of healing with herbs and poultices were more popular and effective than the doctor's amputations and blood-letting. It was a good read.

Weyward
by Emilia Hart

book cover


This was a powerful tale that spans centuries; it focuses on the women of the Weyward family, all of whom suffer abuse by men. It's brutal to read what they went through but I drew comfort from the women's inner strength, cunning and sense of purpose. I enjoyed reading about their bond with the natural world and their ability to use herbs to heal which, in ancient times, caused them to be labeled witches. I thought the book was well-written and engrossing.
