John understood and loved children, for only a person like that could write a story that so poignantly depicts a child’s struggle to know Jesus Christ and to live for Him, even in trying circumstances. Her unforgiveness and Lucien’s despair are the backdrop for the sweet message of a Savior who forgives all our sin and who knows our sorrows. She wants to punish Lucien, and so she does yet she also learns that revenge leaves an unwelcome pain in her own heart.
Poor Lucien is overcome with sorrow and guilt over Dani’s accident, but Annette doesn’t care.
It’s within this idyllic setting that Annette vows to never forgive Lucien for his part in her little brother’s accident that left little Dani lame. Like Heidi, Treasures of the Snow takes place upon the steep mountain slopes of the Swiss Alps, and like Heidi the story is set during simpler times. If you loved the book Heidi as a child, then you will love Treasures of the Snow.
