This book tells the story of a young family struggling to make a life in the rugged wilderness of the American Northeast. Dave Patton, the father, has left behind the relative comforts of the Settlement to carve out a new home for his wife, Mary, and their young daughter, Lidey. The winter is harsh, and the snow isolates them from the outside world. With Christmas approaching, Lidey's faith in Santa Claus is tested, as the family's isolation means he won't be able to visit. The author uses this simple act of faith to explore themes of isolation, hope, and family, set against a backdrop of the unforgiving natural world. The story offers a glimpse into the lives of early settlers and the hardships they faced while illuminating the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. The book also provides a window into the importance of family bonds and the enduring power of love and hope, especially during difficult times. This stirring tale of survival and hardship in the wilderness reminds us of the enduring strength of the human spirit in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.
