* In the Midst of Winter touches upon the plights of undocumented immigrants and refugees, human rights, and love in the third act of life. Delving into the past of the three protagonists, Allende explores hopes, dreams, and the need to have a safe place to call home. During their journey to help Evelyn, Richard and Lucia grow closer, sparking a latent love that seemed unimaginable after the tragic loss of his wife and the inevitable end of her previous marriage, proving that love is ageless.
