The Truth About Winter by Dixie Gillaspie

I just read my advance copy of The Truth About Winter by Dixie Gillaspie. 

This is an extraordinary novel about trauma and healing, denial and discovery, truth and love. Ultimately, it’s about choosing. This novel reminds us to embrace our power and choose to live on our terms — with joy and love.

You can order your copy starting tomorrow. (Only for Kindle right now, the print book will be available in two weeks.)

And you can sign up to attend one of the two launch parties — live Zoom events with Dixie, her publisher (Michael Beas) and her editor (Maria O’Rourke). Michael will interview Dixie about the book, and the audience will have the opportunity to ask questions.


Wise Words…
…From Dixie Gillaspie

“Do you ever ask yourself how much better your outcomes might have been if you’d prepared for the best?”

– Dixie Gillaspie
