About the Author

Grace Livingston Hill was born on April 16, 1865 to a Presbyterian Minister, Charles and a published author, Marcia, in Wellsville, New York. For her twelfth birthday, Hills Aunt Pansy had one of her stories published in a book of short stories. This was the beginning of Hills career as a writer. In 1886, Hill and her family moved to Winter Park, Florida, where she got a job teaching gymnastics at a local college. She wrote her first real book there, in an effort to raise money for a family vacation to Chautauqua Lake. The book was called Chatauqua Idyl and was published in 1887 by D. Lothrop and Company, the same publisher that printed her first story when she was twelve. Hill was eventually married and began a family, but lost her husband to appendicitis. At this point in her life, her writing was the only means she had to keep food on the table and money in her pockets. In her lifetime, Hill wrote over a hundred books, only two of which were non-fiction. Grace Livingston Hill died in 1947 at the age of 82. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet romance, leaves me feeling warm and happy., March 16, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Marcia Schuyler (Hardcover)

The first GLH I read, and still the best IMHO. Marcia steps into the breach when her hoyden older sister jilts her groom at the altar. Leaving her home to take up residence with her new husband, she's subject to the difficulties of loving a man who has accepted her as second best, plus the machinations of the sister, who is outraged that young Marcia would presume to "take up with my David."

5.0 out of 5 stars Grace Livingston Hill: Pioneer of Christian Fiction, September 27, 2005

This review is from: Marcia Schuyler (Grace Livingston Hill) (Paperback)

Grace Livingston Hill was my idol. I had been reading lurid, sexy books and then, I became a Christian. Then I realized these were not the healthiest books to read for

a young Christian trying to grow in Christ. I, then, read 89 of Grace's books. I scoured the stores for more until there were no more to be had. That's when I decided wholesome romance books were in demand but in short supply. Grace's books were my greatest inspiration and what encouraged me to write Christian Romance myself.

Still, many years later, I'm still (sign) hoping to come across a title of hers I may have missed.

This review is from: Marcia Schuyler (The Miranda Trilogy) (Hardcover)

I'm 18 years old and I never read romance novels until I found some Grace Livingston Hill books that my mom bought. Marcia Schuyler was the first I read... I guess the picture caught my eye. I started reading it, and I could NOT put it down!!! I was laughing about it with my brother, telling him, "I'm actually gonna go read a romance novel now. I'll let you know how it is!" but I LOVED it!! The story was so captivating! I read the whole book, all 300 and some pages worth, in one night!!! *laughs* Since then, I have gotten alot of the other books and have really enjoyed my time reading them. Still, "Marcia Schuyler" is my FAVORITE!! I've read it 2 times, and it's also my mom's favorite. Grace Livingston Hill really captured a unique story with this one, a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat, waiting to find out what happens next. I think it is so sweet how the two main characters finally realize how much they love each other in the end.
If you want a sweet, clean, wholesome novel, I highly suggest reading this one!! I've even given it as gifts to my friends. :)
