courage to face the winter cold, hunger, and uncontrollable fires. She
learns that while the people she trusts may not be able to help her, God
will. In the midst of terror she finds the perfect peace of surrender.Catching Raindrops is a book written especially for middle-grade readers (8-12 yrs). It is a historical fiction.
