Winter's Song celebrates the intimate, intense relationship Americans living in the northern Midwest have with the season. Many see it as a cold, drab, and miserable time of the year sprinkled with warm holiday spices and a yearning to fly south. Yet the book invites us into the lives of the hearty people of the north, born with ice in their veins, who accept and even embrace winter like it’s a member of the family. While the other seasons have their place among the pages, winter takes center stage and is depicted like a fantastic and familiar Nordic realm, one that has profoundly influenced and shaped the people of the north. From amusing stories of winter driving, unique fashions, and the inspiring experiences of children, to the effect winter has on spirituality, the health benefits of the cold, and the outsized role of the meteorologist, Mischke paints the season with whimsical humor, breathtaking beauty, ancient lore, and cultural touchstones. But Winter’s Song is more than a collection of heart-warming stories of those living in the north. It holds a frosty mirror up to their lives and examines their determination to weather the season and the abundant joy they receive from it. Only living there, can one find deeper meaning in the fluttering snow, the sparkles cast from sun-lit icicles, and the twinkling darkness overhead at night. Winter's Song isn’t just a hymn. It’s an ode that elevates the season to a living breathing presence and passes its rich rewards to those who invite it in.

Winter's Song

A Hymn to the North

By: T.D. Mischke

Winter's Song celebrates the intimate and intense relationship Americans living in the northern Midwest have with winter. The season is often viewed as an inhospitable time of year, accompanied by yearnings to fly south, yet Mischke invites us to view winter through the rich and varied lives of the hearty Northerners who have come to accept the season's extraordinary presentation--its hard lessons and hidden treasures.--Amazon
