The Winters in Bloom: A Novel
"Motherhood, in all its magical and messy incarnations, is at the heart of The Winters In Bloom, a story that skates gracefully amid wonder, terror and redemption. Indeed, Tucker's novel is impossible to categorize, bending the confines of the psychological thriller with an eloquent literary narrative of tangled family ties."-- BookPage“Few contemporary novelists come close to understanding families in trouble with the insight and compassion of Lisa Tucker.” —Pat Conroy,New York Timesbestselling author ofSouth of BroadandBeach Music“InThe Winters in Bloomthe ties that bind are expertly knotted.
