  <default_description>Would you like to convert someone who says romances aren't &quot;real&quot; novels? This  book is the one that will do it! &lt;i&gt;Flowers from the Storm&lt;/i&gt; is one of the best books in the genre.  Christian Langland, Duke of Jerveaux is the ultimate hero. A brilliant mathematician and a complete rake,  Christian is a man of contradictions. When a stroke leaves him permanently unable to speak, his family  believes him to be mad and relegates him to a sanitarium. Fortunately, Maddy, a righteous Quaker and do- gooder, recognizes that Christian is not insane--he just can't talk! Maddy may not be the most likable  heroine you'll encounter, but she has depth and character, and is probably one of the few people you could  imagine who would have the patience and understanding to accept and live with Christian's intense anger  and frustration. This is a book that defines the word &quot;keeper.&quot;</default_description>
