The Christmas surprise
In 1755, during the French and Indian War, Kate Stewart, nursing a burning hatred for the Indians who killed her parents and kidnapped her young brother, goes to live with the Moravian community in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and is horrified by their calm disregard of a threatened Indian raid as they prepare for a special Christmas.

Seeing this cover again, and holding the book, is like finding a long-lost friend. I remember attending a church when I was 8-9 that would put trombonists in the middle of the balcony on special occasions, and I always loved it because I loved this book so much. In fact, I scribbled a few juvenile ideas of “further adventures” for these characters and the ones in the sequel because I couldn't quite get enough of them!
