Love Blooms in Winter
A romantic new book from bestselling author Lori Copeland that portrays God’s miraculous provision even when none seems possible.
1892—Mae Wilkey’s sweet next-door neighbor, Pauline, is suffering from old age and dementia and desperately needs family to come help her. But Pauline can’t recall having kin remaining. Mae searches through her desk and finds a name—Tom Curtis, who may just be the answer to their prayers.
Tom can’t remember an old aunt named Pauline, but if she thinks he’s a long-lost nephew, he very well may be. After two desperate letters from Mae, he decides to pay a visit. An engagement, a runaway train, and a town of quirky, loveable people make for more of an adventure than Tom is expecting. But it is amazing what can bloom in winter when God is in charge of things.

“Lori Copeland did a wonderful job developing this story in a way that brings you fully into the lives of the characters. I laughed and cried, felt joy and sorrow as I journeyed through this book. She also added a historical element to this book that I appreciated. The impact of the railroad on our country was tremendous and we see a part of that while reading this book.”
