The Quiet Season is a reflective winter tale set in the small town of Stillwater, where snow softens the world and silence speaks. When a retired librarian finds his life quietly shrinking inward, a boy who loves the river, a widow seeking warmth, and a schoolteacher caught in a storm begin to draw him back toward connection. This is a story about grief, memory, and the way healing arrives slowly, like snowfall, changing everything without making a sound.
