Ted Winter, a successful lawyer, had his second heart attack when he was only sixty-seven years old. His daughter, Marci, threatened to move her family to Ted's house, considering that he worked too much and couldn't take proper care of himself after losing his beloved wife, Carol. As a temporary solution, Ted bought a big motorhome and drove to the Cayuga Lake campground, where he decided to stay for a while. He spotted an old VW bus in the neighboring lot. Soon, the owner of the bus, named Summer, got Ted's attention. She unceremoniously entered Ted's motorhome and his life to offer him tasty food, attention, and friendship. But Ted wasn't happy about her manners at all. Yet he couldn't stop thinking about this fascinating woman who used to cook delicious food for her neighbors for free. Ted learned that sixty-five-year-old Summer had also lost the love of her life, her husband, Arthur. She had been caring for her parents for the last five years and decided to live freely after losing them not long ago. Will Ted's and Summer's tentative friendship grow into something more? Winter Meets Summer by Christine Noyes is for fans of romance, drama, humor, and psychology.

Winter Meets Summer is a witty and very profound read, touching on questions about our place and true purpose in life. Christine Noyes tells us that we never stop growing and developing as humans, and age doesn't play any role in this significant growth. At first, Ted seems unfriendly, but he has a big, loving heart under these protective layers. Summer is quite a character! She could be annoying and even a bit arrogant, like when she kept addressing Ted as "Teddy," the nickname he couldn't stand. But Summer is full of amazing surprises. Christine also tells us that problems with parents can haunt us at any age and speaks about coping with loss and grief. I appreciated Christine's beautiful writing style and profound knowledge of human nature.

Summer is an older woman who, after losing her husband, seeks to start anew by dedicating herself to doing what she loves and being part of her community. On the other hand, Ted Winter is a sixty-seven-year-old lawyer going through a second heart attack. Ted's family and doctor pressure him to live a healthier lifestyle, but he disagrees because of his love for work and order.
