Frozen Bonds: A Sister's Courage

By Renee Giblin

**Frozen Bonds: A Sister's Courage** follows twelve-year-old Cheryl Schroeder, who has always embraced her responsibilities on the family farm, helping with chores and nurturing the animals. One frigid Saturday, while their parents are out shopping, Cheryl and her eight-year-old brother Troy bundle up to skate on a pond they've cleared of snow. In a horrifying moment, the ice cracks beneath Troy, and he plunges into the freezing water.

With her heart racing, Cheryl instinctively races back to the barn, commandeering the tractor to rescue her brother. Using a rope, she pulls Troy to safety, but the ordeal leaves him with severe frostbite, leading to a hospital stay. As Cheryl grapples with guilt, her bond with Troy deepens, and she assumes a more motherly role, doting on him during his recovery. Set against the backdrop of rural life between Caledonia and Brownsville, this melancholic tale explores the themes of courage, sibling love, and the harsh realities of growing up.
