Synopsis:

The Friendly Persuasion is an American novel published in 1945 by Jessamyn West. It was adapted as the Oscar-nominated motion picture Friendly Persuasion in 1956. The book consists of 14 vignettes about a Quaker farming family, the Birdwells, living near the town of Vernon in southern Indiana along "the banks of the Muscatatuck, where once the woods stretched, dark row on row." The Birdwells' farm, Maple Grove Nursery, was handed down to them by pioneering forebears who came west nearly fifty years before the time period depicted at the outset of the novel.
