About this title

Review

Grace Livingston Hill is a legendary Christian romance writer and has been popular for many generations. i am delighted that a new generation will now come to know her beloved sweet stories. The Christian message rings loud and true in all of Mrs. Hill's stories, and I for one am so appreciative that they are being revived.--Glenna Fallin"NetGalley" (12/16/2013)

Oddly enough this is the first time I've read this book. I've owned it for more than ten years but never actually read it. In some ways I'm glad that I waited.
This book has a very strong message and is extremely pointed. I love Mrs. Hill's writing style and felt like I was part of the story so I sometimes took things more to heart. It amazing to me (and proves that Mrs. Hill was a Godly writer) that each thing that was in that book felt like it could be happening as I was reading.
I believe that this is a good book for someone who is at a precipice in their faith or anyone who would like to be closer to The Lord.

From the Back Cover

Young and courageous Rodney Graeme had made a name for himself as a navy hero. Now he was returning home before being given a top-secret assignment in the States. Everyone in town came to greet him. Everyone including beautiful Jessica, the woman Rodney had loved, the woman who had jilted him for a richer man while he was away. And unbeknownst to Rodney, Jessica's powerful husband is determined to use his lovely wife-and Rodney's feelings for her-to his own advantage.|""How hard that he not only had the memory of war and his terrible experiences at sea, but he had to have this great disappointment, too--that this girl had gone back on him. The girl whose name had been linked with his. . . .""
