Thinking of Winter: From the bestselling author of I Came Upon a Lighthouse | A moving memoir of love, healing & the bond between a man and his dog
Shantanu's move to America promised fresh beginnings, yet instead delivered something far lonelier. Into this emptiness bounded Winter, a young dog he'd adopted on impulse. What followed wasn't the chaos typical of puppies, but rather an extraordinary relationship that would quietly reshape everything. Winter possessed an uncanny wisdom in those old eyes, a presence that felt almost timeless. Rather than the mayhem one might expect, this remarkable creature moved through life with deliberate grace, choosing stillness over noise. Across frozen New England winters and the drenched monsoon streets of Mumbai, this memoir charts an unexpected odyssey between a directionless man and his enigmatic companion. The lessons arrive subtly. Winter's patient composure teaches us how to simply remain present. His approach to encountering others demonstrates something increasingly rare: genuine softness in a harsh world. Through his unhurried routines lies something profound about mending what's broken within us. What emerges is a touching exploration of loyalty, fortitude, and the remarkable power of animal companionship. A four-legged friend becomes, somehow, a bridge to healing for those around him.
