I love Grace Livingston Hill's books. They're sweet innocent love stories with good morals and likable characters. Keep in mind though, that this story takes place in pre-civil war New York state and that the story was written in the early 1900's. A side-plot involves the hero becoming an abolitionist which puts him at odds with his pro-slavery uncle. The views expressed by the characters are far from politically correct and one evil character uses the "N" word. Just beware. That aside, the story is about sweet, orphaned Phoebe fighting against being married off to an oaf while she makes friends with the handsome, upstanding hero....the fun is that Miranda (from the first book in the trilogy) is able to provide just the right help at the right time and everyone can tell how it ends of course....!
