Publisher's summary

With the coldest season comes the warmest of second chances.

At age 73, Laura Kauffman knows she is closer to the end of life than the beginning. If God willed it, she would join her beloved late husband soon. Even so, Laura wonders what purpose God might have for her in this winter of her life - and why this season seems so lonely.

Widower Zechariah Stutzman is facing his own barren season, despite the great-grandchildren swirling around him. With his Parkinson’s worsening, he had no choice but to move in with his grandson’s family, though now he feels adrift and useless.

When Laura offers to help with Zechariah’s five great-grandchildren after their mother has a difficult childbirth, Zechariah is unsure how he will adjust to the warm but tart demeanor of this woman he has known since grade school. But soon, Laura and Zechariah learn they are asking God the same questions about loss and hope. And they begin to wonder if he is providing answers after all.

With Winter’s First Frost reminds us that God’s purposes always bear fruit - and sometimes love is sweeter with age.

I really enjoyed this one and Kelly Irvin did a very good job with story. Would recommend it very much and it kept me right with it. Will look for another of hers for sure.

A sweet story about seniors in love

I loved this story. It has a fast-paced plot, and was very well-written. I could picture everything the author described. I love that the main characters were in their '70s, and had lost a spouse. Their love built slowly and naturally. I enjoyed getting to know Zechariah and Laura, and their families and friends. It was nice to read more about the Amish.
