Grace Livingston Hill was a prolific American author who wrote over 100 novels which often featured young Christian women. Hill's writing features the themes of redemption and good vs. evil. This description may be from another edition of this product.
I so wanted to rate this book a 5, but being a Pentecostal/evangelical Christian, I could not do that as the references to spirits of the air; etc., and the mysticism uses at times hindered me---even if it was a Shakespearean in a few incidences. I am surprised that Grace did this comparison as she also was a Bible-Believing Christian. It was an excellent book except for that. I own about 75% of her books.
I love it =o)

It keeps me up late at night reading it. I haven't finished reading it, yet, but I started it a couple of days ago and I will finish it soon. It's about a young girl named Dawn who grows up without much love in her life, and spends most of her growing up away at a boarding school. When a man decides to marry her, she doesn't know what to think. She doesn't like the man very much, but she likes to think of having her own home to take care of. Without having much say in the matter, she is all set to be married to the man (his name is Harrington Winthrop). Harrington's evil scemes are unknown until just before the wedding. Harrington's loving brother decides to marry young Dawn... But Dawn doesn't know about the quickly-formed plan! She runs away after the marriage because of confusion and her mother-in-law's anger. She becomes a much-loved teacher in a small town. ...But Harrington is still after Dawn. I like the excitement and emotion of this book. All of Grace Livingston Hill's books are good!
