Alberta, 1988.
One girl. One winter. One family willing to fight for her.
Inspired by true events, Light of Winter's Heart follows twelve-year-old Clara Miller through the winter of 1988 in Edmonton, Alberta. Autistic and struggling with severe mental health challenges, Clara has spent years moving through the foster care system, carrying more loss than most people carry in a lifetime. Her imagination is vivid enough to build whole worlds inside her own head, and most days, it's the only place she feels safe. Rejection and bullying have taught her not to expect much from anywhere she lands, or anyone who says they'll stay.
Then she's placed with the Johnsons, and for the first time, something different starts to take hold: a family that doesn't flinch at her hardest days, a home that feels less like a placement and more like hers.
But the system doesn't care how far she's come. When the bureaucracy moves to relocate her again, Clara refuses to let it happen quietly. She seeks legal help to fight for the right to stay, and the fight forces her to face the neglect and isolation that shaped her long before the Johnsons ever came into her life. What she finds, buried under all of it, is a kind of faith she didn't know she still had.
Light of Winter's Heart is a story about a child the system was built to process, not to see, and about what it costs her to be seen anyway. It's about the family you choose fighting for the family you were promised, and about a girl learning that belonging isn't something you're given. It's something you hold onto with both hands.
For readers who found themselves in tears over Felicity's Last Goodbye or swept up in the quiet hope of Beyond Where Lanterns Rise, Light of Winter's Heart is another story about love that refuses to let go, even in the coldest season. A heartfelt, faith-filled read for teens and readers of all ages who believe that even the most overlooked among us deserve a home.
