Book Description
Dianne Rossol’s latest book of poetry and prose delves into the beauty of transitions. From literal changes in seasons to evolutions within ourselves, A Sweet New Season: Reflections explores the wisdom that comes with life experience. As we age, we have the opportunity to look at life through different lenses. While humanity naturally approaches youth with single-minded self-involvement, as we grow older, we start to recognize the many people, things, and experiences that enrich life. We learn to cultivate gratitude for both the objects and connections that surround us, but also the concepts we understand on a more visceral level, like faith and spirituality. A Sweet New Season explores—with unerring relatability—relationships and their importance, both in cultivating them and letting them go. Rossol’s poems and short stories go to the heart of what it means to live authentically. She celebrates love and family, frailty and grief, that intangible sense of belonging, and the wisdom of knowing that not all questions will or can be answered. In truth, Rossol celebrates all aspects of life, without the need for those rose-coloured glasses.

Book Description
Maddie Townsend might live in a town called Serenity, but there's been nothing calm or peaceful about her life since her marriage broke up. This stay-at-home mom has no job skills, an out-of-control sixteen-year-old son, a talkative fourteen-year-old who's suddenly gone silent, a six-year-old daughter whose heart is broken, an ex-husband whose younger girlfriend is expecting their baby and two best friends who think she's somehow qualified to help them open a fitness spa for women. But if Maddie is a tad on edge with all that on her plate, it's nothing compared to the chaos that ensues when she discovers that her son's baseball coach has feelings for her and the whole town disapproves. Maddie's faced a lot of challenges lately with strength and resolve, but Cal Maddox may turn out to be more than she can handle. Then again, he could just be the one man in all of South Carolina who can help her find serenity.
