The Snowflake

In December 1897, Ellen Pierce and her brother are racing toward the Alaska gold fields, but ice traps their steamship and their plans stall. Buck Lewis offers a way forward: he will guide anyone willing to walk with him overland to Dawson City.

Buck is running from a painful past and intends to press on through any ice or storm. He does not expect that a woman would join such a dangerous wilderness journey, or that he would come to love her along the way.

As the trek goes on and Christmas draws near, Ellen and Buck learn that the most valuable gift cannot be bought or wrapped. It is something received within the heart. The story also affirms that God made each person distinct and loves every one of them equally.
