A couple for thirty years, their \"separate but together\" partnership is running up against the realities of late middle age: Grant's mother has died, the college where he taught philosophy was shuttered, and their twin girls are grown and gone. Escaping the bitter cold of a Midwestern winter for the hot desert sun of Palm Springs seems as good a solution as any to the more intractable problems they face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen they arrive at Le Desert, a quirky condo community where everyone knows everyone's business, Kim immediately embraces the opportunity to make new friends and explore a more adventurous side of her personality. Meanwhile, Grant struggles to find his footing in this unfamiliar landscape, leaving Kim to wonder if their relationship can survive the snowbird season. But when Grant goes missing on a hike in the Palm Springs mountains, Kim is forced to consider two terrifying outcomes: either Grant is truly lost, or this time, he's really left her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIs it ever too late to become the person we wanted to be—and is there still time to change into someone better? The exhilarating, but often confusing transitions of midlife are pitched against the promise and glamour of Palm Springs in this tender, honest story of what it takes to commit to someone for a lifetime. With compassion and humour, Clancy explores the redemptive power of finding ourselves, and of being found.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Snowbirds\u003c\/em\u003e offers a poignant insight into life's turning points with wit and empathy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Publishers New Zealand Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47550393385196,"sku":"9781250872104","price":50.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781250872104-the-snowbirds.jpg?v=1776803145"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/christina-clancy.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
