Grace Livingston Hill

Hi, Readers and bots alike! I would like to talk about one of my favorite christian romance writers, Grace Livingston Hill. Mrs.Hill has been both an inspiration and guide to girls and boys across the world.


Grace Livingston Hill was born April 16, 1865 in Wellsville, New York to the Rev.Charles Montgomery Livingston and his wife, Marcia Macdonald Livingston. Both were writers. Even her aunt, Isabella Macdonald Alden, was a writer who wrote under the pseudonym "Pansy." As you can see, writing was in her blood.


Her career as a writer began as a child in the 1870's. She wrote short stories for her aunt's magazine for children. She continued to write as she grew older. When she died in February 1947, she left only one work unfinished.
 Her daughter, Ruth completed the novel. All in all, Mrs. Hill is credited with over a hundred works.

Below is a list of her books that I've read or listened to (the dates are when they were published, not when I read them):

  • Marcia Schuyler (1908)
  • Phoebe Deane (1909)
  • Miranda (1915)
  • A Daily Rate (1900)
  • An Unwilling Guest (1902)
  • Aunt Crete's Emancipation (1911)
  • Dawn of the Morning (1911)
  • Lo, Michael! (1913)
  • The Best Man (1914) 
  • The Finding of Jasper Holt (1916)
  • The Enchanted Barn (1917)
  • Exit Betty (1919)
  • Cloudy Jewel (1920)
  • The Tryst (1921)
  •  The Girl from Montana (1922)
I am currently reading  Crimson Roses (1928) and it's really good.
