Reviews for Out of Winter
What a beautifully written book: sensitive without being mawkish. Essential reading for anyone watching their parents reach the inevitable and and struggling to cope. Carol Lee is a courageous writer. This book is both tender and tough-minded in its record of one woman's day by day journey through a universal experience.
