A review by allingoodtime
The Winter Lodge by Susan Wiggs
4.0
This book ran the gamut of emotions for me. I really enjoyed the story and all of those emotions it brought up. Plus, lots and lots of recipes to try out are sprinkled throughout the book!
As with the first book in this series, Susan Wiggs weaves more than one story into this book. The main focus of the story are Jenny and Rourke. Jenny has had a rough year. Not only did she find out about her birth father, she also was introduced to his whole family including a half-sister she never knew she had. Then her grandmother, the woman who raised her, died. Jenny feels stuck in a rut and almost trapped by her small town, although she loves her family bakery and the townspeople.
Rourke, on the other hand, loves living in their small town. He didn’t grow up there but spent many summers there at camp and moved there as an adult, eventually becoming the town’s police chief. Jenny and Rourke have an interesting past that is the cause for them avoiding each other for the most part. The way we learn their story and how it plays out is so touching and heart-breaking. For the most part we know where the story is going, but there are some twists and turns along the way.
