Summer product: No Season

My mother's time is spring and summer, while my husband's time is autumn and winter. What is left for me? For Persephone, she spends six months under the ground with her husband, the king of the dead, and six months on earth with her mother, the goddess of the harvest. This has been the way for nine thousand years since the deal was made. However, something is different when she resurfaces this spring. Rains lash the land, crops grow out of season, or not at all. People are trying to build a road through the woods, and her mother seems unable to stop them. The natural world is changing rapidly, and even the gods have lost control. As Demeter tries to regain her powers and fend off her daughter’s husband, who wants to drag his queen back underground for good, Persephone finally gets a taste of freedom by joining a group of protestors. Accustomed to looking up at the world from below, Persephone realizes for the first time as she looks down on the earth from the treetops with activist Snow that there are choices she can make for herself. What will these choices mean for her mother, her husband, and for the new shoots of life inside her? No Season but the Summer takes a classic myth and turns it on its head, asking what will happen when our oldest stories fail us, when all the rules have changed. Above all, it is a book about choice.
