Thomas Wolfe is wrong ¿ you can go home again. No matter where you go and who you become, returning to your roots will always make you feel complete. From Xlibris comes a book about an author¿s refreshing journey back to her roots. A Winter Sabbatical is a story about renewing family bonds and relationships. It is a story about a love affair with the land. Set in a little town in Northern Minnesota during winter, the author took time off from her university career to spend four months with her three young sons on the farm where she grew up. Primary among her objectives was a desire for her sons to experience country living with their grandparents and all of their cousins - including attendance at a small, rural school. Another objective was personal rejuvenation at a time in her life when she was overweight, out of shape, and mentally exhausted. A final objective was to engage in the reading and writing necessary to justify her sabbatical from the university. All of these objectives were accomplished in the end, but not necessarily in the way the author intended. A surprising feature of the memoir is the author¿s pursuit of an objective that was never identified in the beginning. Witness her life as the author rediscovers it during a four-month winter sojourn in the land she loves. The events and anecdotes of that time period will amuse you and warm your heart. The author¿s reflections will inspire you, as you realize the many advantages of returning to a place you once called home.
