The winter of 1896 in the Yukon was very cold and windy. The winters were especially hard on the birds and animals. Settlers who moved to the Yukon struggled to survive. They provided shelter for their families by constructing small farmhouses. The wild life and settlers seldom crossed paths but that would all change. A severe snow storm altered the quiet existence of a family of geese, a tiny moose and a family of settlers. The result ended in a daring rescue and an everlasting friendship between them and a young girl at Christmas.
