Decided to go with one beside my bed. I thought it would be a quick read since I thought most of the books by Grace Livingston Hill were, but it was not. I still enjoyed it, although I didn't exactly put together the plot and the title until about half way through. The book was written in 1927 and I loved reading the "thickness" of the story, using more proper words, more wordy words to describe what was going on. Obviously that is a skill I have not developed!
Interestingly enough, according to her website, Grace Livingston Hill is credited as being the originator of the modern day Christian Romance books! Here is brief tidbit about her if you are unfamiliar with her books.
Follow Doris Dunbar through the ups and downs of a daunting future. An unwise business investment leaves John Edward Dunbar’s children practically penniless after his death—and his eldest daughter, Doris, to bear the brunt of the trials that come. Between the bill collectors, her demanding stepmother, and her brother’s hasty marriage to a gold digger, it’s hard for Doris to keep hope alive. Until Scottish businessman Angus MacDonald offers a picture-perfect solution to Doris’s dwindling hope. But despite the seemingly easy salvation, will this blessing yield more hurt than help?

Happy Reading!
