It is spring on a great estate. The roses are climbing the garden walls. A pony grazes near a sunlit pond. Strawberries ripen in the greenhouse. You've been invited to a birthday party. And what a party it is. The cake is three feet high. The gifts are stacked to the ceiling.
But as you look around, you notice something odd. Where are the other children? Only one is here, a young girl, alone among the servants and the adults. You watch as she tears through the gifts one by one, searching desperately for something she cannot find. At last she stops. The final box is open. For a moment that feels like an eternity, the earth stands still.
Then she runs to her room—and cries her heart out.
She has almost everything in the world. But almost isn't enough.
WHAT Travelers ARE SAYING
One of the best book’s I’ve ever read . . .Theodora’s Children is a most beautiful Christian allegory. It’s style is reminiscent of C.S. Lewis’ Narnia books. For me, it very much had an air of The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe about it. I was captivated by its beauty and enthralled with its narrative. –Julia Wilson. Christian Bookaholic ★★★★★
“Reading each chapter was much like watching a great movie unfold! I finished reading the entire book within a couple of hours because I couldn’t put the book down! Besides being a fantastic story, I was so pleased that Theodora’s Children had a perfect ending." – Jan I. -- Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★

Winter comes early this year. And with it, something strange. Footprints appear in the snow outside her window, footprints that lead into the frozen dark and vanish. A fire breaks out in the night. And somewhere beyond the garden wall, where the snow lies deepest, seven children are hiding.
They are cold. They are hungry. And they are singing.
You'll want your snowshoes, a warm parka, and a large thermos of hot chocolate. The story is just getting started.
