SLW (Mena, AR),
This review is from: The Girl from Montana (Kindle Edition)
Despite all of the unfortunate events in her life, Elizabeth(the girl) keeps her sweet and innocent spirit. A hard story to put down once you start, even if some of it seems unrealistic.

OK book but not quite enough details on her religious journey for me.,
This review is from: The Girl from Montana (Kindle Edition)
It was an ok book especially for the price. Basically a girl meets a city man who is lost out in the wilderness while she is trying to escape a evil man that killed her brother but now wants to force her to be his wife. The city man helps her the best he can until they get to a town and he has to go to his very ill mother by train and leave the girl behind. The girl eventually loses her pursuers and makes her (very long) way to her relatives. She finds Christ and become a Christian while living with her very rich grandmother. She by chance meets the city man again this time as a beautiful rich heiress. She gives him a Bible and he reads it and become a Christian while she is in Europe with her fading grandmother. Her grandmother dies and she comes back and they soon fall in love afterwards. After they get married they go back to her old home and pay to have a nice church built and started there for the montain people.
It was ok but i didnt think it had enough details on the religious part of the book. I love Christian novels so that was a real disappointment. But for the price ($0.00) its an ok read.

Simple But Preachy,
By Mimbelina (Texas) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Girl from Montana (Kindle Edition)
The sole survivor of a family that slowly died out under the harsh living conditions of early pioneer Montana, Elizabeth flees from the man who killed her last brother and seeks escape in the East, where she hopes to find her long-lost grandmother and finally go to school. Though raised in relative isolation without the benefit of a formal education, Elizabeth's intrinsic grace and refinement capture the interest of a rich young city-bred man she meets on her escape. They aid each other, finding solace in their quiet companionship and in the conversations about things deep and meaningful. They are forced to part when they reach civilization, but each carries the memory of their budding friendship into the world. After several harrowing experiences, Elizabeth finally finds her grandmothers, learns she is heiress to a large fortune and is installed into the social whirl of Philadelphia. Despite the pressure to become a slave to fashion and society, she never loses her quiet, humble nature. If anything, she becomes even more beautiful and refined as she gains knowledge both social and spiritual. It's no wonder that her "man of the wilderness" pursues her when they finally meet again by chance. But will her belief that his heart belongs to another prevent them from finding happiness in each other's arms?
I read many of Grace Livingston Hill's books when I was a girl and I loved every one of them. When I saw this as a free Kindle book, I couldn't help but download it! I don't know if this was just one of her less successful books or if I've out-grown them, but I didn't find it as satisfactory a read as I did previously. Though the plot is interesting, the characters are rather flat and the narrative commentary is almost preachy. I do enjoy a good Christian novel, but the way that Hill writes in this book is just a little bit too overbearing. Though I wouldn't pan it altogether, it's certainly not a high recommendation.
