This is a moving story, because we’re still dealing with the same issues in the 21st century: prejudice and fear of people who are different than us. Lena’s father is a role model for any child in any time or country: a hard-working man of integrity, patience, and love for others. His lived-out faith becomes a beacon for the entire community, as people are forced to examine their hearts after tragedy strikes. Mrs. Chism, the owner of a lot of land and the Sill’s landlady, becomes more tender hearted with exposure to Mr. Sills and Lena. I recommend this video for anyone. There are some great issues for families to discuss.
