Katherine May offers a reflective guide to life's dormant periods—those stretches when we must withdraw and tend to ourselves. Drawing on personal experience alongside insights from literature, mythology, and nature, she demonstrates how rest and retreat can reshape our understanding of hardship as a natural, cyclical part of existence. From solstice traditions to arctic voyages, May shows that winter seasons hold their own wisdom and beauty, inviting us to accept rather than resist the quiet times that precede renewal.
