When Clara moves with her husband and children to a postcard-perfect New England town, she hopes the charm of the community-and the space from their past-might revive a marriage gone quiet. But instead of rekindling love, Clara finds herself lonelier than ever, tethered to a partner who's emotionally absent and spiraling toward volatility.
As autumn turns to winter, Clara's inner world begins to thaw. Her writing, long abandoned, stirs to life again. A deepening friendship with Eli -a reclusive horse farmer carrying his own quiet grief-offers her a sense of being seen for the first time in years. Their connection unfolds slowly, carefully, until a single moment on a snowy New Year's Eve changes everything.
What follows is a tender, emotionally-charged journey through heartbreak, healing, and self-discovery. As Clara begins to reclaim her voice and set boundaries that protect her peace, she must also confront the fallout of choosing herself in a world that often demands the opposite.
Set against the backdrop of changing seasons, small-town festivals, and second chances, The Light Between Seasons is a story about the courage it takes to leave behind a life that no longer fits-and the hope that waits on the other side.
