Keeping the Heart is a short story collection about ordinary lives shaped by life in a cold land. In a new society marked by unfamiliar rules, fast rhythms, and growing distance, people must learn to adapt - not only to survive, but to preserve what quietly defines them. The six stories trace unassuming lives where ethics are not proclaimed, but revealed through small, everyday choices: how one treats others, nature, and one's own conscience. From building a life in snow-covered places to lessons passed down without words, Keeping the Heart asks a persistent question: as circumstances change, what do we manage to keep within ourselves?
