. .

Résumé :
Sixty-five-year-old Summer was ready to begin the rest of her life. A quirky soul, she lost her husband fifteen years prior and did not think she would ever find love again. Her goal? To travel and live her best life. And she took her gong along. Following his second heart attack after the death of his wife, sixty-seven-year-old Ted Winter is given an ultimatum. To retire and live a healthier lifestyle, or his daughter would move into his house with her family to care for him. Without his wife or his work, Ted's ordered and predictable days are behind him. Mishaps and miscommunication, lack of understanding, personal boundaries, and love of food infuse Winter Meets Summer with laughs, tears, and cinnamon buns....

Biographie:
You can't always plan where life will take you.That certainly proved true for Christine Noyes. Growing up a tomboy in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, she spent her youth building forts, playing sports, and enjoying the perceived innocence of the 1960s.Without a clear vision of what her life should be, she went where she felt most comfortable: to the kitchen. At the age of eleven, she began her work life as a dishwasher in her grandfather's restaurant. She spent the next several decades reinventing herself, becoming an accomplished chef and then a sales representative, an entrepreneur, and eventually a writer and illustrator.Chris never chose her professions. They chose her.Few people say that going bowling changed their lives, but it did exactly that for Chris. She met the one person she never expected to meet, the man she calls her husband and soulmate, Al.
