Can you remember a time when you had to step out of your comfort zone and perhaps outside of the approval of your parents or friends to begin something new in your life? What happened as a result of your decision?
What Christmas traditions does your family or your community keep each Christmas? Which ones do you look forward to each year?
What motivated Peter to believe it wouldn’t be right to impose his life with Molly onto Anna? What assumptions was he making in coming to that conclusion?
What was the biggest change in Anna by the end of the book? In Peter? What does that suggest to you about responding to what life brings to each of us?
What can Peter and Anna’s relationship teach the reader about communicating with someone you care about?
