Summary: When a beautiful 16-year-old girl named Sophie is found sequestered in a cage-like room in a rundown house in the desolate hills of Arbon Valley, Idaho, the entire community is shocked — not as much by her circumstances as by the fact Sophie is actually the almost-legendary Callidora, a baby girl who was kidnapped from her crib and canonized in “missing” posters with portraits of what the fabled girl might look like now. Authorities soon learn that the cage was there to protect people from Sophie, because her biological father believes she is cursed. In Brenda Stanley‘s novel “The Color of Snow,” Sophie is discovered after the man she knows as Papa shoots and injures a young man named Damien who is trying to rescue her. Unsocialized and thrust into the world, and into a family she has never met, Sophie must decide whether she should accept her Papa’s claims that she is cursed, and that he was only trying to protect others, or trust the new people in her life who have their own agendas.
