Softly the Silence
(Catherine Durrant has been confined, alone for years, in ...)
Catherine Durrant has been confined, alone for years, in a room which has only a slit in the wall for a window. She must relearn how to speak and must find herself in relation to other persons. From a half-grown child who fears even the girl in the mirror, you will follow her growth into the poised young woman who helps in the healing of her grandmother. Catherine’s challenges are daunting, but so are those of her grandmother; it was she who helped create Catherine’s ordeal. Meet those who provide love powerful enough to heal a desperately wounded child. Ride the riverboat Marian Dee and visit the warm silence of the Carmelites as you share Catherine’s discoveries of her parentage. Softly the Silence is a gentle book that will call you back again and again to its engaging characters, who, with their courage, change disaster into hope.
