The Quiet Little Woman, Oh My!
Thursday, November 8th, 2007How has this story escaped me all these years?! I wrote to you a couple of days ago about finding a few new treasures at the thrift store. Among them was a book called The Quiet Little Woman: Tilly’s Christmas, Rosa’s Tale : Three Enchanting Christmas Stories
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott is one of my all-time favorite books, so I couldn’t wait to read the Christmas stories contained within this new addition to my home library. I sat down yesterday with a cup of hot tea and read The Quiet Little Woman
“I am grateful, but, oh, I’m so lonely, and it’s so hard not to have any mother like the other children.”
Little Patty laments her situation and wants only love. The story of Patty’s winning over a family with her faithfulness, quiet endurance and meek spirit made me cry!
We will definitely be reading this together as a family — even my older boys. With this story, Louisa May Alcott makes one want to be kind and do good. It doesn’t hurt for even teenaged boys to be touched like this from time to time! ~:-D
