Grace Livingston Hill was an American writer during the early 20th century who wrote a prodigious amount of Christian-themed works and romances. Her work still remains popular and widely read today. This description may be from another edition of this product.
This is a worthy read of Ms Hill's but having read most (I'm ashamed to say) I don't think this is one of the best for one reason--I don't think she developed the relationship between the main characters in this book. But if you like a book about a young untouched, innocent girl who goes off into a world of the untamed to teach, is immediately rescued by a handsome cowboy from trouble,, she has lots of trials and adventures then you might enjoy this too.
Great reading, many humorous parts!

This is one of the best Grace Livingston Hill books I've ever written. It's great to see how Margaret befriends a bunch of rough-acting cowboys and they become her most loyal friends, even rescuing her when a jealous teenage girl plays a cruel trick that leaves her stranded alone in the desert. One of the funniest parts is when several cowboys take a very bad excuse for a Presbyterian minister out and dunk him in a water trough after he preaches about how you don't need God in your life as long as you do good otherwise. Lance proves to be a good man time and again, although he tries to convince Margaret that he's not that wonderful.

LANCE GARDLEY IS THE PERFECT GENTLEMAN AND HERO. HIS FRIENDSHIP AND GROWING LOVE FOR MARGARET IS WONDERFUL. LANCE'S FRIENDS HAD ME LAUGHING ENDLESSLY, BUT THE BEST OF IT WAS THERE CHANGE WHEN THEY ENCOUNTERED MARGARET. THE PLOT SET AGAINST MARGARET BY A JEALOUS STUDENT WAS VERY INTERESTING. MARGARET ONLY HAS EYES FOR LANCE, BUT ROSA (THE STUDENT) THINKS MARGARET IS AFTER HER ADMIRER FORSYTHE, WHO USES WOMEN AND WANTS TO BE MORE THAN A "FRIEND" TO MARGARET. ROSA WAITS FOR HER CHANCE AND SO SETS OUT A WELL LAID PLAN. A BEAUTIFUL STORY. YOU'LL WANT TO READ IT OVER AND OVER.
