[Boundless] is a deep book, meditative and thoughtful, but it is also compulsively readable, driven by an inexorable narrative drive and its keen attention to humanity in all its manifold complexities. It is the sort of book one will finish and return to. (Robert J. Wiersema Globe and Mail 2014-09-05)

Compulsively readable . . . it both heightens life and plumbs its deepest mysteries, laying bare the beauty of both the world and the soul. (Robert J Wiersema The Globe and Mail 2014-09-05)

It’s an impressive book, one which belongs alongside the best of writers like Dillard and Terry Tempest Williams, writers who so root their work in themselves and the natural world that the work itself becomes transcendent. (Robert J. Wiersema The Globe and Mail 2014-09-05)

Winter’s personal reflections on marriage, family, and past relationships, combined with her poetic observations of the Northern geography and people, breathe new energy into the traditional travelogue format . (Quill & Quire 2014-10-01)

graceful, poetic and shimmering prose. (Marcia Kaye Toronto Star 2014-11-17)
