"The Magi in Winter" by G.W. Kroeker
Sometimes getting stuck in a hotel room during a snowstorm can be the beginning of a beautiful relationship. G. W. Kroeker hopes that the re-release of “The Magi in Winter” (ISBN 1466452722) will attract even more readers who will view it as a powerful and inspiring novel.
Erik Leiden, divorced with three grown children, is on a flight to Germany for the holidays when he comes across Jenny Heilman. Jenny is a single, pregnant 24-year-old punk rocker dressed in full attire who is on her way to Germany to find her baby’s father, a U.S. soldier stationed in Regensberg. Both are going to Germany for very different reasons, but their paths keep crossing.
After she loses all her money to a pickpocket team and is caught in a snowstorm, the two are forced to share his hotel room, which happens to be the last vacant room. Her plans to go to Regensberg and find her boyfriend are spoiled. Snowed in a few days before Christmas, they end up learning a lot about each other. Jenny rids herself of her attire, and Erik sees her in a different light, as a beautiful, bright, quick and clever woman. A relationship begins to develop, and even though they appear to be drawn and repelled, they do become closer and closer.
On Christmas Eve, Erik helps Jenny give birth to a baby girl, but he has to leave the day after Christmas. Doubts begin to enter Erik’s mind as he believes he is too old for her and that she needs so much more than he has to offer her. However on his way to the airport, he realizes that he can’t be separated from them and follows his heart’s desire.
Kroeker refers to the novel as a series of epiphanic moments. It is about seeing what is beneath the surface of things and seeing into the heart of reality beneath appearances, even beyond the Christmas Epiphany which serves as a powerful metaphor in the novel. Although shortly after its original publication it was pulled from the library shelves in a high school because it was deemed inappropriate, Kroeker thinks this time, without such distractions, readers of all ages will be able to fully appreciate it.
“Even though the novel is obviously a love story, it is a rather unique one,” Kroeker says. “There is a rather gritty reality about it, and a gripping quality, even a sense of suspense, that one does not usually associate with the traditional love story.”
“The Magi in Winter” is available for sale online at Amazon.com and other channels.
