A Basket of Flowers

A Basket of Flowers is by Christoph Von Schmid. A wonderful tale from a definitely Christian perspective. The tale is set in Germany 100 years ago. It is the story of a young woman who is wrongly accused of a crime. Her father is a gardener who uses nature to teach his daughter lessons about God. When Mary is accused and convicted of theft she refuses to lie and maintains her innocence. Mary and her father begin their sentence for the crime. Her father's lessons see her through this trial and prepare her for a greater one. A fantastic story!

Ratings: 7th grade - 10 out of 10.
