The Quiet Little Woman, Oh My!

How 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

    Hi there! I found your site by following a link at LL to your lovely braids. I am a homeschooling, hair-growing mom, too. In fact, that picture of you in your apron reminds me a lot of…me! My hair journal at LL is called something like “LJ’s Journal”, very original title, I know. I just wanted to thank you for this book recommendation, I am certainly going to put a hold on a copy at my library. Take care!
