Paperback. "We are all broken. That's how the light gets in," said Ernest Hemingway.Some are more broken than others, Mr. Hemingway. The light at first blinds those long in despair. At first, so brightly, we could not see. Our minds resist. If we are to heal, it must come from the heart.At seventy-three, Keith Stuhler had spent four decades hiding behind drugs, depression, and a carefully constructed facade. A former professional golfer and charity founder, he had fooled everyone except himself. When his marriage reached a breaking point and every safety net collapsed, Keith walked across a concrete bridge into Faith Farm, a Christian regeneration program for homeless addicts in South Florida. He wasn't looking for God. He was looking for somewhere to disappear.What followed was a year without distraction. No phones, no television, no escape. A year of brutal honesty and nightly journal conversations with a presence he didn't believe in, until he did. Keith became the oldest graduate in the program's seventy-six-year history.The Winter Planting is proof that it is never too late to change, and that even frozen ground can bear fruit.A memoir for readers of recovery literature, faith-based personal stories, and accounts of late-life transformation. The Winter Planting speaks to anyone who has wondered whether it is too late to begin again. He wasn't looking for God. He was looking for somewhere to disappear. The memoir of a former pro golfer who became, at seventy-three, the oldest graduate in Faith Farm's seventy-six-year history. This item is printed on demand.

For four decades, Keith hid drug addiction and clinical depression behind a career that gave no indication of either. PGA golf professional. Business executive. Nonprofit founder. The public life was real. So was the private one. Eventually the private one won.
When his marriage reached a breaking point and every structure he had built collapsed around him, Keith entered Faith Farm, a twelve-month Christian regeneration program for homeless addicts in Boynton Beach, Florida. He was the oldest person in the building. He was a committed atheist. He had no intention of finding God. He was looking for somewhere to disappear.
What he found instead fills these pages.
Written from bunk 42 in a barracks he shared with men half his age and twice his pain, The Winter Planting is built from the raw journal entries Keith wrote every night for a year. Conversations with a God he did not believe in. Letters to the wife who waited. The slow, brutal unraveling of everything he thought he knew about himself.
Keith calls the experience brutiful, both brutal and beautiful at the same time.
He became the oldest graduate in Faith Farm's seventy-six-year history. He walked out a different man.
This is not a self-help book. It is not a twelve-step manual. It is one man's proof that it is never too late to change, and that even frozen ground can bear fruit.
The Winter Planting is for anyone fighting addiction, loving someone who is, questioning faith, returning to it, or wondering whether their best years are already behind them.
They aren't.
