Five Winters

A heartfelt book about friendship, parenthood, moving on, and love in general. Mark, the elder brother of Beth Bailey's closest friend, has captured her heart ever since she was a little child. She’s continued to hold out hope that maybe, someday, he’ll love her back. But now Beth is thirty-five years old, and on the day of Mark’s wedding to another woman, she finally accepts the wake-up call she needs to move on. Beth still has a strong desire to become a mother, even if her ideal of marrying her first love may no longer be achievable. After losing her own parents at an early age, Beth has no greater desires in life, and she will do whatever it takes to fulfill her desire. Over the course of five years, and with unexpected twists along the way, Beth will come to startling realisations about family, friendship, the meaning of love, and most importantly, herself on the winding path to happiness and, she hopes, to motherhood.
