Book Description
The young lady had talked with her grandfather many times during her thirteen-year life, but now that she was becoming a woman, the depth of conversation went deeper than ever before. What began as an ordinary sunset walk around the lake evolved into an opportunity for the elderly teacher to share his beliefs about life, love, religion, the spirit world, and yes, death. One of the many challenges facing her as a young teenager was the constant desire to separate fact from fiction. By the time the walk ended under the light of the stars and the moon, the granddaughter had filled her mind with even more questions and ideas that would prompt deeper curiosity and decision-making throughout the future years of her life.

Book Description
The teenaged girl often asked her grandfather about the stories he shared regarding a ferocious snowstorm that had paralyzed the city in 1975. She was eager to hear more about it because that was the year of her own mother’s birth. Her grandfather decided that the events might have more meaning if he were to take the girl for a ride in the car to actually show her the routes and locations of his experiences during that winter weekend. While they drove through the city their conversation about a pregnant couple’s journey evolved into a deep discussion about another pregnant couple making their way to Bethlehem several thousand years ago. By the time the car ride was over, the young lady had not only discovered more about her own family history, she had also intensified her curiosity about the life and death of Jesus.
