" The God she knew-the One she walked with in the gardens and among the wheat fields, or sought in prayer near the large oak trees or at times like this when she was alone-heard her. She knew He did. She had always felt close to Him. Talking with Him was as easy as speaking to a friend. "

― Jill Eileen Smith , A Passionate Hope: Hannah's Story (Daughters of the Promised Land, #4)
