Fabienne Dubois has everything she needs for happiness: a cozy home in the middle of the forest, her own art studio, a loving man, and close friends—but happiness still isn’t there. Depression drags her down like a black hole. It seems that the winter that has frozen Fabienne will last forever. But she refuses to give up and searches for support—in the people life brings her, in creativity, in helping others. This gives Fabienne the strength to overcome her fears, accept herself, and welcome a new spring. Largely autobiographical, this novel by Canadian artist Mélissa Perron addresses one of the most painful topics—depression—and offers hope to those who think everything is lost.
