The Winter Star

The Winter Star
For forty years, Dorothy Winterbourne has lived in a house filled with clocks. Each one marks time differently. Each one reminds her of what she has lost. Arthur.
The past is settled. The story, she believes, is known.
Until everything changes.
With the turning of a small silver key, Dorothy is carried back into the life she believes was lost to her.
But the past does not return as she expects.
Moments she once believed certain begin to unravel. Memories she has carried for decades no longer align with what she sees. And the man she has mourned for forty years is not quite the man her grief preserved.
Guided by Barnaby, a faithful presence who refuses to leave her side, and steadied by Mrs. Gable, the one person who has never given up on her, Dorothy is forced to confront a truth far more fragile than memory.
Because memory is not a perfect record of love or loss. It is shaped by longing, sharpened by grief, and softened by the stories we choose to believe.
To find what truly happened, Dorothy must face what she has refused to remember. And in doing so, she will discover that the greatest distance between two people is not measured in years, but in the stories we tell ourselves to survive.
