“Button had been filled with tremendous hope that the first chapter would be sold to a magazine as a story, but she had reckoned without God. The picture was clear now, for the first chapter should not have been printed that way, separated from the rest of the story. Although she had shed many a year with each subsequent rejection slip from various magazine editors, now she was thankful for them. How shortsighted humans are, she was thinking. God sees clearly far into eternity and He had known it was for Button's best interest not to succeed with those magazines for if she had, she wouldn't today be hugging this book to her heart”
Thyra Ferré Björn, Papa's Daughter

“I never worried about words. The most important thing was to be still and cut off all thoughts of material things, to focus my mind on God from whom all talents and thoughts came.”
Thyra Ferré Björn, Mama's Way

“Dear God," she prayed from the very depth of her soul, "help me not to grieve-to willingly let him return to You and the Heaven he so well deserves.”
Thyra Ferré Björn, Papa's Daughter
