Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a legend of a time long ago, retold many times to many generations. It is of love and adventure and of good versus evil. Growing up, Snow was a shy boy, and Little Rose was a skinny, pesky girl. They lived in a village next to a river that flowed through the beautiful, peaceful valley that was their world. Their valley had all that their people needed and wanted: fish to catch in the river, game in the woods to hunt, and berries, roots, grain, and herbs to be gathered. All in their village worked together, making life good. Their peace and harmony are shattered. Challenges are forced on Snow, Little Rose, and their people. Courageous deeds define a hero. Legends are created by people that are much more than heroes. Legends are created by those that inspire their people with great virtues. Snow and Little Rose are thrust into many situations not of their making or desires. With a good heart, determination, and a lot of good luck, they become much more than they thought they could be. The great spirits created men and women to bond together to become more than the sum of them as individuals.
