GRACE LIVINGSTON HILL LIST OF BOOKS 79 TO 104:
- 79. A Girl to Come Home to-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 including beautiful Jessica, 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 feeling for her-to his own advantage. Suddenly Rodney finds himself caught up in an espionage plot, fighting bravely against desperate odds. Then he meets a gentle young girl whose faith touches him deeply, and he discovers a strength to overcome-and the joy to be found in honest faith and real love.
- 80. Homing-Lovely Jane Scarlett, an orphan entirely alone
in the world, works as a sale girl in a department store. One hot summer
afternoon when her customers are especially trying, the thoughtfulness of
one of them, the beautiful Audrey Havenner, makes up for her difficulties
with all the rest. Audrey, for her part, is drawn to the girl behind the
counter, and at dinner that evening she mentions Jane's name to her family.
Audrey's brother, Kent, is immediately interested. The law firm of which
he is a member has been searching unsuccessfully for a person known as Jane
Scarlett for some time. How Kent contrives to meet Jane Scarlett, what he
and Jane find in an old trunk stored in the attic of one of Jane's friends,
how happiness comes at last to all of them, is told by Mrs. Hill with wisdom
and grace and an irresistable warmth of understanding.
- 81. The Honeymoon House
- 82. House Across the Hedge
- 83. In Tune With Wedding Bells-Tenderly romantic, this
is the newest in the long line of inspiring novels that have made Mrs. Hill
America's most warmly loved writer. When Reuben Remington, on his last day
at the office before he went off on a well-deserved vacation, helped a fainting
stenographer to the hospital, he had no idea what he was letting himself in
for. But he promised the girl, Gillian Guthrie, that he would care for her
small brother while she was getting well. During the period of anxiety--even
of stark fear--that followed, Reuben learned from the young fellow and Gillian
that there were many satisfying parts of life he had been missing. Once again
Mrs. Hill writes a novel of modern young people courageously winning their
way to the truest kind of happiness.
- 84. Katherine's Yesterday
- 85. A Little Servant
- 86. The Love Gift
- 87. Maris-When Maris awoke that momentous morning, exactly
three weeks from her wedding day, she felt somehow depressed. She couldn't
understand it, for she was going to marry handsome, wealthy, young Tilford
Thorpe--a fine match for any girl, yet deep down in her heart Maris was
beginning to realize that her fiance was really a snob. Soon those small
misgivings were to assume tremendous proportions for that day Maris' mother
had a heart attack, her father almost went to pieces from shock, and Alexa,
her young sister, came down with measles. How Maris works out of her
difficulties makes one of Mrs. Hill's finest romances. It is a vital story
not only of a warm-hearted courageous girl, but of her gallant and devoted
family.
- 88. Matched Pearls-A matched and flawless string of pearls
was to be Connie's the day she joined the church. But how Victorian--to
join church to please Grandmother and possess the pearls. Her brother,
Frank, said she was crazy not to--he'd joined church any day for a Rolls
Royce. So the pearls were Connie's to take back to college. But there
was also the memory of the gorgeous brown eyes and the happy smile of
Seagrave. Then came the terrible news of the accident--and they said Doris,
her roommate, had but a few hours to live. Without Seagrave, Constance
could never have gone through with it. But would he hate her when he
learned the story of the pearls? Well, Frank said he couldn't have picked
a better brother-in-law even if he'd been blindfolded. A story of youth
and lasting love.
- 89. More than Conquerer-Having volunteered for a mission
that was almost sure to end in certain death, a young soldier is emboldened
to confess his love for the girl he has worshipped from afar since high school
days. Private Charles Montgomery has never felt himself worthy of Blythe
Bonniwell because they were not of the same social set in the town. However,
he is astonished to find that Blythe has been secretly in love with him, too
--the boy who "always knew all the answers" in school. They spend several
happy hours over this discovery and pledge their future together before he
leaves on his dangerous mission. He writes of his experiences to Blythe in
the hope that she too will be comforted, since they can plan with no certainty
for this life. His last letter after he is found desperately wounded on the
battlefield he sends back to Blythe by a comrade who is returning to America.
The story of their experiences and romance is woven by Mrs. Hill into an
exciting novel, through which runs a strong spiritual theme of special significance
for the world today.
- 90. Mystery Flowers-Diana Disston, a winsome, sweet-faced
lass, has grown very close to her father since the death of her lovely
mother whom they both adored. One morning, however, the blow falls cruelly
upon her. Couched in affectionate, yet strangely distant terms, comes a
letter telling her that he is to be married again and to a distant cousin,
only a few years older than herself, whom Diana had had reason to distrust
even as a child. When the couple returns Diana can see only too clearly
how subtly Helen has poisoned the mind of father against daughter. But in
the midst of her sorrow, she holds secretly against her heart the sweet
mystery of some unknown person who, morning after morning in the time of
her deepest trouble, has dropped for her a single, fragrant pink carnation
in the same place on the dewy grass.
- 91. Pansies for Thoughts
- 92. The Parkerstown Delegate
- 93. Patricia-The well-loved Mrs. Hill has written a
delightful and intensely human story of Patricia's struggle for and attainment
of, in spite of her social-climbing mother, a way of life that brings happiness
and satisfaction. May the Fifth of the year Patricia Prentiss was twenty-four
had become a day of dread because she must give Thorny Bellingham his final
answer to his many proposals of marriage, instead of the gala day of years
before when she had seen the Worth family, united and warmly happy. Each
year Patricia had kept May the Fifth and the memory green, aided by the
lovely bed of lilies-of-the-valley young John Worth had planted at her gate
on that memorable day. How John returns on this crucial anniversary and how
Patricia works out her problems makes one of Mrs. Hill's most charming and
delightful novels.
- 94. A Personal Influence
- 95. The Prodigal Girl
- 96. The Ransom-It was Charmian's death that brought
Christobel home from school--only it was a queer sort of home. Christobel
wandered through the white and silver rooms--that world of unreality in
which Charmian had lived--and found pity instead of hate in her heart for
the beautiful woman who had pretended to be her mother. But now she revelled
in the thought that perhaps she and her father and Randall could start a
new home together, and learn to be friends again. Little did she suspect
there would be long days of anxiety ahead when Randall disappeared--or that
a stranger could suddenly enter her life and remain to play a deep part.
- 97. The Seventh Hour-Dana Barron needed the encouragement
of a friend as he speeded towards New York in a train from the west. The
recent loss of his father and the trying duty he must perform as the last
service he could do for the one who had made his life such a happy one were
heavy loads for even his strength and fine faith. So when Bruce Carbury, his
old college chum, appeared as if sent by a higher power, Dana felt he could
face his problems with renewed courage. The two men gave their best to Dana's
problem and in doing so won the help of the delightful Shannon family. Valerie
Shannon was glad to help Dana protect his sister Coralie, when he found her in
an undesirable situation--and the four joined forces to meet and overcome the
crisis of the "seventh hour." Again Mrs. Hill has written a romance of inspiration
and deep poignancy that will delight her many devoted readers.
- 98. The Sound of the Trumpet-Up to the minute in setting
and plot, Mrs. Hill has in this new novel told an exciting story of a band of
saboteurs who try to deflect the secret of a vital mechanized gadget into the
hands of the enemy. The real theme of the story, however, is the triumph of
faith over evil. Beautiful Lisle Kingsley first sees John Sargent when he is
busy with a group of other men, digging a ditch. With her quick perception
she recognizes his fineness even in this setting. John notices Lisle, too,
and it is love at first sight, although he resists because he thinks Lisle
too far above him. Lisle is practically engaged to Victor Vandingham, son
of the manufacturer in whose factory the gadget is being made. But eventually
she decides that the worldly Victor is not for her. How the saboteurs are
foiled in spite of the cleverness of Erda, the dashing blond spy, and how
Lisle achieves a happy ending with her soldier-lover make up the rest of this
timely story. One of Mrs. Hill's best.
- 99. The Spice Box-As Dr. Howard Sterling rode along that
wintry night thinking of dark-eyed, spoiled Rose, he was interrupted by a
shout of horror from the chauffeur. The young physician looked out of the
car to see, lying in a snow bank, the lovely, ethereal figure of a girl.
A moment later he knelt beside her looking for signs of life, and reassured
by faint breathing, rushed her to his hospital. In the days that followed,
as Dr. Sterling worked to save the unknown girl, he found himself wondering
what tragedy had taken away her will to live. At the same time that the
young doctor found his mysterious patient, on another side of town middle-
aged Martha Spicer woke up one morning to find herself a woman of means,
but a lonely one. Strangely, the fate of these three people, together with
that of a young boy, was to become inextricably mingled and change the
course of their lives.
- 100. The Story of A Whim-Hazel Winship, a lovely, generous young woman, longed to reach out to someone less fortunate and offer some sort of solace and encouragement. And so it was, on a sudden whim, that she began sending gifts and letters to the unknown “Christie Bailey,” who lived in Florida.

And in the process of carrying out her plans, she stirs up such strife and discord it seems that the Garland family will be torn apart, a fact that leaves Sylvia overcome with despair.
