Rachel (Prairie Summer, Lessons) and her family experience the challenges of a snowy, stormy winter. After their school bus is stranded in a snowdrift, the sisters are taken in by kindly neighbors. The girls have fun, but worry about their parents (their stubborn dad still refuses to get a telephone). Geisert vividly depicts the harsh weather conditions and the warmth of a 1950s family.
