Lake Mittens

A letter from the future shouldn’t reach the past. This one does.

In 1995, carpenter Tom Green pins a letter to Snowball Falls’ North Wind tree, never expecting an answer. He’s grieving, isolated, and certain his life has narrowed to work, silence, and getting through one more winter.

In 2026, archivist Marian Clay discovers Tom’s note in a water-damaged box of old North Wind letters. When she writes back, she begins an impossible correspondence with a man living thirty years in the past.
But the more Marian learns about Tom, the more she realises history may not have told the truth about what became of him.

As BrightPeak Developers threaten the square, she and Tom must work together from two winters thirty years apart, trusting each other to follow a trail of hidden clues before time runs out on everything they’re trying to save.

With a jingle-collared spaniel, a town committee that treats gossip as a civic duty, and a slow-burn connection that crosses decades, Lake Mittens is a clean and wholesome winter romance about love, legacy, and the hope of being found when you thought your story was already over.
