Summary

A tender, poetic journey through the seasons of a woman’s life — where love, loss, and renewal move out of rhythm with the world around her.

Life rarely unfolds in time with the seasons.

While spring promises new beginnings, she faces the loss of her mother.

As summer blazes, her marriage unravels in the heat.

In autumn, career and certainty fall away like leaves.

And when winter comes, she sits alone beside the fire, learning to be warmed by memory rather than company.

Told across four lyrical novellas — Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter — The Turning Year explores what happens when our inner weather refuses to match the sky. Each story stands on its own, yet together they trace a lifetime: a circle of growth, grief, endurance, and quiet acceptance.

A book for readers who love reflective women’s fiction, emotional literary stories, and character-driven journeys of self-understanding, this collection offers beauty in sadness and hope in stillness.

Because even when the world turns cold, warmth endures.
