The Winter Mothers

di Sarah Colleen (Autore)

Sarah Colleen, 2025

In a nineteenth-century Canadian settlement where winter defines daily life, the women know how to endure when the world turns hard. They mend, bake, haul water, tend children, and hold one another upright through the long dark, guided by routine, memory, and the old rules no one admits they still follow. With the men away at the logging camps, the women hold the settlement together. Days blur. Sleep comes thin. Worry settles into the walls of the cabins, and exhaustion sharpens every sound and shadow. Winter presses inward, wearing at tempers, patience, and rest. As a storm descends, the women begin to notice what winter carries. The sense of being watched. Sounds that do not belong to wind or settling wood. The feeling that something moves just beyond the reach of firelight. The Winter Mothers is an atmospheric historical novella about women's lives, winter folklore, and the quiet power of community, where endurance is not found in escape, but in staying, witnessing, and carrying one another through the dark. For readers who love the atmospheric historical fiction of Geraldine Brooks and Hannah Kent.
