A Quiet Strength

A Quiet Strength is the third of Janette Oke's A Prairie Legacy series. It is set a little before The Great Depression, in a small town where a most unusual family comes together.

It hardly seemed possible to Virginia; she is married. She didn't feel married. Why must she share her husband with his aging grandmother? When will she have her husband to herself? This is a difficult time for Virginia, but when Jenny Woods comes to town with her daughter, who is only three, Virginia must put her own wants aside, take on more responsibility, and trust God.

I loved this book because it is a true testimony of how God gives us patience and strength that we couldn't have on our own. I would recommend this book to anyone ten and up due to the graphic description of Jenny Wood's lifestyle.
