Description
When Susan Moore’s father brings home a sad stranger named Paul Maniford, Susan finds herself intrigued by his story. As a widower, he is incapable of caring for his young daughter and farm alone. Normally reserved, Susan finds herself able to converse easily with Paul. She becomes unexpectedly concerned about his needs. Believing that love is a choice rather than simply an accident or emotion, Susan encourages him to remarry, even if it is a marriage based more on need than romantic love. Soon, Susan is confronted with a decision that could change her life forever. Paul, still practically a stranger and twelve years her senior, asks her to be his wife. Susan, as the always dutiful daughter and motherly big sister, is concerned about leaving her father and sister behind. How would they fare without her? And if she does marry Paul, would a marriage based on a common need instead of romantic love bring happiness? Could she love his daughter as her own and actually find love in a marriage to a near stranger?

What a beautiful book this is! The story is sweet and true to the character of a young Christian girl and her earnest desire to do the right thing and to find happiness without neglecting the people she loves. You can’t help but love her and, actually, all of the people in this little community. I read this book and then HAD to read the next two books in this series to find out what happens to this beautiful family.

I don’t usually enjoy reading but I fell in love with “The Quiet Daughter Speaks” and could not put it down. The pain that was shared between Paul and Susan and then turned into a beautiful love just grabbed my heart and didn’t let go til I finished the book. Their marriage was so inspiring in so many ways. Their faith that took them through so many trials, never failing. I just loved this book.
