Winter Heart is the story of Ben O'Brian. Ben O’Brian is lost. He was once a poet, an educator, a husband, and a father. But now his career is over, his children are grown, and his beloved wife Grace has passed on. He’s starting to think his best days are behind him. With his books and his faithful Labrador retrievers he has retired to his quaint secluded cabin on the shores of Hunter Lake, nestled in the heart of the great north woods of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

But he is not alone in the world. Determined not to let him succumb to his own asceticism, Ben’s family coerces him into joining his sister on a cross-country train trip to their brother’s wedding. But things take an unexpected turn when Ben meets a mysterious, yet oddly familiar stranger along the way. Can the old poet find new love after all these years? All he needs is a little faith, and… Grace.
