Mary Elisabeth Quigley Is Listening to the Sunrise

Mary Elisabeth Quigley Is Listening to the Sunriseshe has to, she's blind. But don't feel sorry for Quig, as her best friend Neil calls her. She loves listening to the start of the new day in the river town she calls home, especially when she and her dad sit on the old porch swing trying to guess the exact moment it happens. She can almost feel and taste that instant as birds begin to sing and rabbits burrow through the grass. Then one day, after a talk with her brothers about their father's single life, Mary Elisabeth has one of her brilliant ideas, that of finding a girlfriend for their dad. And with an idea like that, what's a girl to do? Well she asks the Lord to help her, then recruits her best friend Neil into her latest scheme. Ah, but the new girlfriend for Mary Elisabeth's father can't be just any ol' single lady. She has to like kids, baseball, be funny and able to handle the craziness that sometimes goes on in the Quigley household. Oh, and she must not attempt to turn Mary Elisabeth into a dress-wearing, curly-haired, girly-girl like her Aunt Susan does.
