The Winter Seeking — Vinita Hampton Wright

Share the Journey to the Heart of the Manger.

Twenty-two-year-old Mary Georgiana Reese faces a gauntlet of pain and loss: her parents' divorce and her dad's remarriage, her mother's battle with cancer, and her own recent breakup. Amidst such turmoil, she can't imagine facing Christmas with her mom's family in Atlanta. Then she is confronted with one more unnerving shift: her mother's reconnection with the Christian faith of her youth.

Though Mary Georgiana has little use for religion, she attempts for her mother's sake to understand this spiritual reawakening. In the process, she comes face to face with another Mary: a virgin heavy with child, making her own uncertain journey through circumstances that bring both fear and hope. As their two stories intertwine, each young woman travels through a season of pain and joy, with surprising results. Their dual journey of winter seeking, centered on the Christ child, invites you to an experience of the Nativity unlike any other.
