Barbara Mahany Presents “The Stillness of Winter”
On Tuesday, November 17th at 6:30 PM, The Book Stall is pleased to welcome Barbara Mahany for an online Crowdcast program, where she’ll be sharing her new book, The Stillness of Winter: Sacred Blessings of the Season.

Like it or not, winter is on the way, and with The Stillness of Winter, Mahany offers a book to help us embrace the season instead of making it a nemesis. She says of her new work, “Consider this a field guide to wonder, certainly, and wisdom, perhaps. It borrows, in spirit, from the almanac, the scrapbook, scribbled field notes, assorted jottings, and, on occasion, the banged-up recipe file that’s tucked on my kitchen shelf. It’s a book I hope you come to know as something of a friend, a gentle-souled companion you might choose to cozy up with.”
It’s also, we might add, the perfect gift to give this holiday season!
