Maine in Winter bears toward the new millennium and beyond, heading into maturity of body, soul, and insight. Here are thoughts and experiences from entries in S. Dorman’s everyday winter and reader’s journals. Here are themes of snowy twilight since stopping in Maine, just so, at the beginning of her family’s first winter in the Northeast–when the Salvation Army came to their rescue, and the in-laws, and their old friend God. After midlife and reflecting on the Big Winter–what is sometimes called Old Age–this book cycles back toward the beginning, to a flight in celebration of the New Year, new life in Maine.
