The Gifts of Winter reveals the warmth, comfort and healing that lies undiscovered in our coldest season.

Winter is a captivating and truly gorgeous season, but we refuse to engage with it. We block it out. We turn the heating up against the cold and draw curtains against the darkness. However, as Dr Stephanie Fitzgerald explains, in ignoring the spectacular beauty of winter we miss out on an opportunity no other season presents. The winter we experience doesn't need to be harsh and barren. Gifts of Winter draws the reader into the miracles that occur in nature during winter, as our gardens and the world around us are most definitely not asleep. This book has the reader follow the energy of winter, which isn't hibernation, but an energising warming of the soul, as we lay foundations and build ambitions for the year ahead.
