A Circle of Quiet
The title of this book comes from the text itself: "Every so often I need out--away from all these people I love most in the world--in order to regain a sense of proportion. My special place is a small brook in a green glade, a circle of quiet from which there is no visible sign of human beings. . . . [there] I move slowly into a kind of peace that is indeed marvelous, 'annihilating all that's made to a green thought in a green shade.'"
This book is the attempt of a gifted woman to define and explore the meaning of her life, a life which, like that of many women today, is complex--that of wife, mother of three children, grandmother of two, teacher, frequent public speaker, concerned citizen, practicing Christian, and writer who has published seventeen books.
