Winter into Spring

Elin Petersen knew that she was fortunate; dreamy husband, stunning home, plenty of friends and plenty of money. Who caused it all to come crashing down? How could she deal with the loneliness, money worries and failed relationships that followed? Elin's wake-up call comes in the guise of new friends Mia, Chrissie and Cecilia. They enjoy life, love, dancing and fun and suggest that Elin could change the part she plays in the drama of her own life. She lands a great new job. But career satisfaction and financial security come with a complication, a drop-dead gorgeous father of two, an enigma who doesn't talk about his wife. Finally understanding that happy endings don't come neatly packaged, Elin heads off to the next challenge, fully aware that she must make her own happiness along the way. Winter into Spring interweaves life struggles with musings on female friendship and practical Buddhist philosophy.
