July 22, 2025Dear Reader,
What would you do to protect the ones you love—especially when the greatest threat might already be inside your home?
In Winter’s Child, you’ll step into the life of Nichole Staunton, a woman who has endured profound loss, clawed her way back toward healing, and now finds herself once again on the edge of tragedy. When her husband is rushed to the hospital and her adopted daughter is found unconscious, Nichole is arrested—and suddenly thrust into a fight not just for her freedom, but for the truth.
This story is about survival, sacrifice, and maternal love pushed to its most harrowing limits.
If you love stories that pull you into the deep end and make you question what’s real—narratives where truth is elusive and danger wears a child's face—you’ll be captivated by Winter’s Child.
Readers who enjoy psychological suspense with complex characters and layered storytelling will find echoes of We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver, The Undoing by Jean Hanff Korelitz, or The Perfect Nanny by Leïla Slimani. This is a domestic thriller that simmers until it boils over—and once it does, it doesn’t let go.
Winter’s Child is a haunting journey through grief, resilience, and the chilling possibility that sometimes love alone isn’t enough.
I hope you’ll take the journey with Nichole—and discover the truth for yourself.
With gratitude,
Christine D. Shuck
Author of Winter’s Child
