Whether figurative or literal, storms are the strongest forces that test mental and physical ability. When we courageously persevere and fight through these storms, we can conquer our fears and prove our strength.

Though it is not clear when she wrote this story, it seems that Richards based it on the Great Blizzard of 1888 that plagued the northeastern coast of the United States.
