A Winter Promise
(2025)(A book in the Stories of Love, Faith, and Hope series)
A novel by Josie Riviera
One snow angel. One whispered prayer. One winter that could change everything.
When love is weathered by the world, can a single act of faith mend what’s been lost?
In 1920s New England, master woodcarver Nathan Whitmore builds beauty with his hands '' until a devastating betrayal from Boston’s elite leaves his name, and his future, in pieces. His craftsmanship, once admired, is now dismissed. His confidence fades. And the life he’s built with his wife, Clara, begins to slip through his fingers.
But Clara isn’t ready to let go. When she presses her prayer into the shape of a snow angel beneath winter’s gray sky, she’s holding on to more than hope – she’s fighting for their shared dreams, their home, and the man she knows her husband still is.
As Nathan is tempted by a powerful woman offering admiration and opportunity, Clara must summon the strength to protect the truth they’ve built together. And Nathan must decide whether success is worth losing the quiet beauty of a life rooted in love, integrity, and faith.
A Winter Promise is a rich, emotionally layered story of marriage tested and love refined, where a faithful woman’s belief becomes the miracle her husband never saw coming.
Inspired by Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Snow-Image, this novel includes the full 1851 short story reprinted from the public domain as a bonus feature.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
