An Empty Quiet Place

Imagine you are a mother, and you just found out that your oldest daughter has been injured in a serious accident... and will never walk again. Now Sarah Vandergriff finding herself paralyzed from the waist down, sees her hopes of love, marriage, or any kind of meaningful life destroyed.

Sometimes we fail to see that what we need, and what we most desire, has been right there all along.  Right before our very eyes.  But if our eyes are turned to look in the wrong direction, we will fail to see it. It took a tragic turn of events before Sarah, in her empty quiet place, to finally realize that the love she had been looking for, since she was but a teen, had been hers for the taking all along. If she would have simply recognized it.

"An Empty Quiet Place" is a powerful testament to the human spirit's capacity for resilience. Sarah's journey isn't just about recovering physically but about redefining her identity and finding new avenues for her intellect and courage. The Author handles the sensitive subject of disability with grace and authenticity, offering a perspective that is both empathetic and inspiring. It's a compelling narrative that celebrates adaptability and the strength found in unexpected places.

This book reminds us that even in the quietest, emptiest places, the seeds of hope and a vibrant future can bloom. It's a deeply affecting read that will stay with you long after the final page.

(An excerpt from the book)

----------

At six o'clock in the evening, the telephone in the parlour of Vandergriff home rang.  It rang four times before Rachael could reach it.  The voice on the other end of the line was one which she did not recognize.

"Mrs. Vandergriff.  My name is Penelope.  I'm a friend of Sarah's.  Sarah has been injured in an accident.  She's in the hospital in Wayfield.  She is very bad.  Pray.  Pray very hard!  And come as quickly as you can."
