David & Kyra Winter are obsessively overprotective
parents to their 5-year-old son Michael. Both parents
have successful careers and were quite happy childless
before Michael was born. They were not anticipating adding a
child. Now that he is here, Michael is home schooled and
loved to an extreme. Just as they begin to allow him to
play for a short time in the back yard he is abducted.
Both David & Kyra are each analyzing their relationships
of family betrayal and fear they are somehow responsible in
some way for the kidnapping. David's former wife, who was
responsible for his infant son's death and considered
troubled, is forefront in David's mind. Kyra also has an
estranged sister and niece that she begins to feel might
also have played a part in Michael's disappearance.
Michael's disappearance triggers their voyage through the
past. All
they seek now is to have their precious and gifted son home
safe and sound. Even with the risks in life they might
still have their dream of a happy family.
The trip Michael takes with a stranger, changes his
entire life and those of his mother and father. This is a
time for both parents to re-evaluate and deal with their
secret pasts. The horrifying thought of a child missing
always stirs something in the heart for the parents. Even
though this set of parents have started with different
ideals than most, there is a lesson to be learned for them
as well. THE WINTERS IN BLOOM is well written and one that
you just can't put down until you reach the very last page.
Together for over a decade, Kyra and David Winter are
happier than they
ever thought they could be. They have a comfortable home,
stable careers, and a young son, Michael, who they love more
than anything. Yet because of their complicated histories,
Kyra and David have always feared that this domestic bliss
couldn't last - that the life they created was destined to
be disrupted. And on one perfectly average summer day, it
is: Michael disappears from his own backyard. The only
question is whose past has finally caught up with them:
David feels sure that Michael was taken by his troubled
ex-wife, while Kyra believes the kidnapper must be someone
from her estranged family, someone she betrayed years ago.
As the Winters embark on a journey of time and memory to
find Michael, they will be forced to admit these suspicions,
revealing secrets about themselves they've always kept
hidden. But they will also have a chance to discover that
it's not too late to have the family they've dreamed of;
that even if the world is full of risks, as long as they
have hope, the future can bloom. Lyrical, wise, and witty,
The Winters in Bloom is Lisa Tucker's most optimistic work
to date. This enchanting, life-affirming story will charm
readers and leave them full of wonder at the stubborn
strength of the human heart.
