Publisher's summary
An Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal best seller.
From New York Times best-selling author Catherine Ryan Hyde comes a gripping and emotional novel about friendship, motherhood, and the journey toward finding a place to call home.
Brooke is a divorced single mom, financially strapped, living with her mother, and holding tight to the one thing that matters most: her two-year-old daughter, Etta. Then, in a matter of seconds, Brooke’s life is shattered when she’s carjacked. Helpless and terrified, all Brooke can do is watch as Etta, still strapped in her seat, disappears into the Los Angeles night.
Miles away, Etta is found by Molly, a homeless teen who is all too used to darkness. Thrown away by her parents, and with a future as stable as the wooden crate she calls home, Molly survives day to day by her wits. As unpredictable as her life is, she’s stunned to find Etta, abandoned and alone. Shielding the little girl from more than the elements, Molly must put herself in harm’s way to protect a child as lost as she is.
Out of one terrible moment, Brooke’s and Molly’s desperate paths converge, and an unlikely friendship across generations and circumstances is formed. With it, Brooke and Molly will come to discover that what’s lost - and what’s found - can change in a heartbeat.

Great plot about loss, trust, and human relationships
I liked the way the author wrote the characters inner monologues. The plot is developed so that the reader becomes aware of situations gradually enabling him or her to put it together. By the end you see all the parallels between the characters, as well as how these three people fit together. This book gives you an insight into a segment of homelessness that is rarely seen. It makes you think.

A Surprising Success
I was not sure if this would be a dud or a success. I was pleasantly surprised. The story captured my attention from the start. The characters were believable and kindred. The book centered a lot on mother/ daughter relationships. I thought the story was going to be more about a baby and a carjacking, but instead it was about a lost girl, and opening your heart enough to understand others needs, and finally creating family from non-family members. I would recommend this book as a quick read that will not leave you disappointed.

Powerful and Beautiful.
I've become a huge fan of Catherine's work, every single book I read by her makes me feel always so alive because her stories are not only so real but always brings so much to the table, making us think and even wanting to be kinder with people all around.
Brave girl, Quiet Girl is not the exception this story made me feel all the feels, I cry, and smile and even got angry at times, it was a roller coaster of emotions but most of all it was a story full of KIndness empathy and hope.
This is the story of three beautiful characters Brooke, Molly, and Etta, they were completely lost in this world for so many reasons maybe not the same one at first but with time and the more we get to read this story, we find the many similarities Brooke and Mollie are having.
Molly lives in a very cold world, she doesn't have a home anymore, she lives in the streets thanks to her mother who was more worried about things that didn't matter, rather than caring that her daughter was all alone without food and a roof to live.
Brooke is starting her life all over again until something happened that shakes her to the core making her aware of things she never even thought about now life has brought her many things including a beautiful girl who only needs love and caring.
Brave Girl, Quiet Girl is the story of a young girl trying to find her place in the world and while doing it she will finally find something that she never expected but always wanted. a real Family.
This was an amazing story, I couldn't stop crying as it is very emotional but I'm so glad Molly got what she deserved, she was a wonderful character as well as Brooke they made this story so more powerful with their intense love and caring.
Etta's character was wonderful, she melted my heart, she was so brave at such a young age, I love how aware she was and how much she cares about Molly
so many great things to say about this story, if you're looking for something real but at the same time emotionally charged with hope and faith that this world still has great people, this is the book.
The narrations by Kate Rudd and Jess Nahikian where amazing!!! I love how they always give so much to the characters making the story so powerful and even more emotional, I love their work and i love what they did with this story.
This was very worth it. I'll keep Molly in my heart forever.

Captivating
This story kept me looking forward to getting back to it every time I put it down! It also reminded me not to judge and to be kind. Even people driving fancy cars can be 1 step away from homelessness!!

Beautiful Story
I normally don't give these types of books five stars but this one was very deserving. It was a lovely, interesting story.

Brave girl, quiet girl
This is one of the best books I've read in a long time. I really enjoyed it and making it audible was just the frosting on the cake. Molly is someone whose side you always want to be on. I could feel all of the struggles that she went through and relate to the them. You just wanted her to have good things happen to her.
