The American early twentieth century novelist Grace Livingston Hill was immensely popular during her lifetime, writing over 100 books and numerous short stories. Many of her tales were written during a time of great uncertainty, in a world plagued with war and the troubles of the great Depression. Her protagonists were often young female ingénues, strong Christian women or those that have erred and now seek redemption. She wrote about a variety of subjects and almost always with a romance worked into the narrative.
