Skylar has always lived in two worlds—her mom’s structured home and her dad’s warm, messy apartment, where she can breathe a little easier. But one winter morning, everything she knows fractures in a single moment, leaving Skylar trying to make sense of a life that suddenly doesn’t fit.
Caught between the familiar routines of middle school, shifting friendships, and a grief she doesn’t have words for, Skylar starts searching for anything that feels steady again. And the answers come in unexpected the people beside her, the memories she carries, and the quiet ways healing shows up long before she notices it.
Heartfelt, hopeful, and deeply real, The Winter Everything Changed is a tender coming-of-age story about love, loss, and learning to walk forward when the ground still feels unsteady.
