A bold and authentic reimagining of The Winter’s Tale full of tragedy, triumph, and forbidden romance—perfect for fans of Sabaa Tahir, Kathleen Glasgow, and Sarah Dessen.

Pia and her brother, Max, live on an isolated farm in rural Maine, and it’s the only life they remember. Their father says the only way for them to stay protected is to stay on the farm. Pia doesn’t question it. Pia’s entire world turns upside down when her father breaks his leg, and she must be the one to venture into town to make farm deliveries. And then she sees him. Felix, a boy who is both a stranger and somehow familiar, makes her question everything she thought she knew about herself, her past, and her family. But no matter how she feels about Felix, she must always obey her father, above all else.

But Pia's feelings are too big to ignore, and the more she engages with Felix, the more she begins to see that there’s promise for her beyond the isolated world to which she’s grown accustomed. And the more she dreams about a better life, the more she wonders if her father is telling the truth about their family’s past. Pia knows her father and his friend Anthony are hiding something, and soon Pia must reckon with the damage her father is doing to their community and the damage he has done to their own lives.

Winter White is an astonishingly told and searingly authentic reimagining of Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale for fans of Sabaa Tahir, Kathleen Glasgow, and Sarah Dessen. Coming of Age Difficult Situations Literature & Fiction Romance Winter

Critic reviews

"A brilliant, blistering reimagining of Shakespeare, Pia’s voice hooked me from the first page, and her toughness and yearning pulled my heart through to the last. Annie Cardi has crafted a story that is as gripping as it is gorgeous."—Jared Reck, award-winning author of A Short History of the Girl Next Door, Blurb
“[A] timely story. No doubt Red will end up being one of the most talked-about books in 2024.”—Culturess on RED, Review
“A heartfelt tale of an ostracized teen who finds caring people and a way through trauma.”—Kirkus Reviews on RED, Review

This is the second book I've read by this author. Both are excellent. This one I found surpassingly good. The emotion is realistic. The situation tragic. The answers unclear. Every chapter compelled me to keep reading.
