Patricia St. John’s classic tale from the 1950s, Treasures of the Snow is reminiscent of the parable of the Good Samaritan. When tragedy befalls the Burnier family and leaves little Dani crippled, Annette must choose between her pride or forgiveness. Aide is extended from the most unexpected people, and hope is provided when all hope seems lost. This Christian fiction text expounds on themes of forgiveness, lying, pride, trust, bullying, redemption, and the opportunity for a new life. The backdrop to this little story is a quaint village in Switzerland that is mostly made-up by the author. Enjoy a free Discussion Guide from the publisher as you read. 207 pgs., paperback. ~Rebecca
