The Book and the Rose is a short film based on a story by Max Lucado. A young man finds an old copy of Anna Karenina and is intrigued by the comments written in the margins by the previous owner. He endeavors to find her, and when he does, they strike up a correspondence. Although initially skeptical, the girl warms to the man and their letters become very deep and meaningful. They do not exchange pictures, feeling it would be superficial. Eventually they make plans to meet. To recognize each other, he will bring the book, while she, a rose.
