"Grace Livingston Hill’s three novels about nineteenth-century small-town America remain relevant a century after they were first published. The timeless themes include the powerful influence of gossip, the importance of faith, and the precious gift of true friendship.
Marcia SchuylerWhen Kate Schuyler abandons her groom on her wedding morning, her father offers her younger sister Marcia as a substitute to avoid scandal. Marcia is infatuated with her new husband and hopes to mend his broken heart. Meanwhile, the new bride must adjust to unfamiliar surroundings, some nasty in-laws, and the town lothario—with the help of the irascible girl next door, Miranda Griscom.
Phoebe DeanePhoebe’s ineffectual brother is kind enough but his wife regards her as an unpaid servant. Still, the mere presence of the lovely girl vexes the woman and she conspires with a slovenly widower who wants to marry Phoebe to provide a mother for his large brood. The man disgusts her and he threatens to ruin her reputation if she won’t accept him. Will her wily friend Miranda be able to rescue her from his clutches?
MirandaStrong-willed Miranda is content working as a live-in housekeeper for her friend Marcia’s family. She prides herself on being “a free and independent woman who can earn my own living'. With her freckles and red hair (and the town’s prejudice because of her wayward father’s exploits), Miranda never expects to find true love. When it comes, it leads to adventure for this courageous, indomitable girl."
"Faithfully nursing her ill father for five years has derailed Marion Warren’s plans for further education. When no will is found after their father’s death, her brother Tom decides to sell their family home in the city and move his young family to a Vermont farm. Naturally, Marion will always have a home with them—where she can help with housework and the children’s schooling.
Marion’s dream of taking classes and enjoying the city’s cultural offerings evaporates until, armed with only her faith, a meager purse and a quaking heart, she dares to make other plans. A job and a room in a shabby boarding house meet her basic needs; to feed her soul, she scrapes together funds for a season ticket in the upper balcony of the symphony concert hall.
A single perfect crimson rose lays on her seat at the first concert. A mistake surely, but since no one claims it she takes it home. Another rose appears the next week and the next. Who is the kindly benefactor who has brought such beauty into her lonely life?"
"‘Aunt Crete’s Emancipation’ follows Miss Lucretia Ward or ‘Crete’ to her family, as she navigates life with her rude sister Carrie and her spoilt niece Luella. They treat the older Crete like a maid more than a family member but everything will change when cousin Donald Grant visits from out west. Carrie and Luella shun the ‘backwoods’ cousin but Crete welcomes him with loving and open arms, changing everyone’s lives forever. If you love Cinderella this story is perfect for you, it is a loving and relaxed read, full of brilliant characters and description, where goodness is satisfyingly rewarded and evil punished.
