Inspired by true events, Light of Winter's Heart follows the harrowing journey of twelve-year-old Clara during the unforgiving winter of 1988 in Alberta, Canada. Autistic and battling severe mental health challenges, Clara's vivid imagination offers both comfort and conflict as she navigates Edmonton's foster care system-a harsh, impersonal maze that strips her of stability and identity. Facing rejection, bullying, and loneliness, Clara's fragile hope begins to mend when she finds an unexpected sanctuary with the Johnsons, a foster family who show her the warmth and acceptance she's longed for.

But the looming bureaucracy threatens to uproot her once more, forcing Clara to make a life-altering decision. Determined not to lose the haven she's found, Clara takes a bold step: seeking legal help to fight for her right to stay. Along the way, she faces the inner demons left by years of neglect and isolation, daring to embrace her individuality and defy the system.

Intertwined with moments of friendship, self-discovery, and spiritual awakening, Clara's journey reveals the power of resilience, love, and belonging. Light of Winter's Heart sheds light on the silent struggles of children overlooked by society and is a testament to the enduring strength of the human spirit. Perfect for readers of all ages, this heartfelt story explores themes of faith, loss, and the desperate search for connection in a world that often overlooks the most vulnerable.
