Snowman

Driving a busload of happy, young scouters on rain-slick roads John Benjamin Frosst is faced suddenly with the unimaginable. In a fraction of a moment, he makes a decision, selflessly offering his life in exchange for the lives of innocents. Now confronted with the knowledge that the comfortable existence he had expected is in tatters, Ben realizes that, instead of doing the serving he loves, he must now humbly receive it from others. Hampered by this new reality, the fine man that is still Ben Frosst discovers the term 'handicapped' is only a starting point from which to find new ways to give and to help. That service comes in many forms. And, with enough love and support, anything is possible. Sometimes, life simply doesn't turn out the way you plan. And that's just fine. Diane Stringam Tolley's newest Christmas novel is a charming, heart-warming story of sacrifice, love and the strength of family and community.
