Book #1 of The Seasons of the Soul series. Every year, Elara returns to the bungalow of her childhood, where rain falls like memory and silence. Ten years after losing her fiancé, she finds more than longing: a mysterious new neighbor, secrets hidden in the attic, and an unfinished canvas begging for color-and an ending. Between brushstrokes, forgotten letters, and farewells, Elara learns that even the coldest winters can bloom into summer.
