A journey from the Winter darkness to the warmth of Summer. * Annie hopes to find the peace she craves in the village of Winterfell but gets off to a bad start with the professor, Kit Courtney, who is more good-looking than any professor has the right to be. Yet her involvement in the friendly community and the welcome from her lovely neighbours convinces her that this was a good move, even if she does get snowed in not long after her arrival. . Add to this a homeless sheepdog, a Druid and boisterous celebrations of both Christmas and Midsummer's Eve and you have a joyful, feelgood story to warm the cockles of your heart.
