Readers have been rewarded with a touching exploration of the feelings and thoughts of young Virginia Simpson as she grows to be a woman. Now with A Quiet Strength, best-selling author Janette Oke continues Virginia’s tale with a heartwarming, romantic novel that mothers and daughters everywhere will love. Virginia Simpson has learned that grandma Marty was right to insist that when God allows something to be taken from you, he replaces it with something better. The return of Jonathan, their renewed courtship, and the upcoming wedding are all shining examples of that. Still though, the trials and disappointments of Virginia’s life weigh heavily on her and the inner strength that has continued to build in her is far from completion. The first test of her new resolve comes soon after her marriage. Waiting for their house to be completed, the couple has no choice but to live with Jonathan’s grandmother. Although Virginia loves the woman, she struggles with having to share her new husband’s time. When the house is completed, even greater obstacles arise, challenging both the couple’s fledgling love as well as Virginia’s inner peace. But like gold refined, Virginia will emerge as a woman of character and godliness.

Virginia has learned to trust God to provide something better when he takes something else away, but will He do the same this time around? As she anticipates the long-awaited arrival of her Jonathan and her upcoming marriage, she learns that her God is not finished refining Virginia yet. She must face more trials and tribulations as she and Jonathan struggle to set up their farm and family together, following God’s will for their lives.
