Grace Livingston Hill was the pioneering author of what is now known as Christian Romance, where faith and devotion are as important as a romantic relationship. In this novel the debonair Tryon Dunham rescues a young woman from an unknown danger at a railroad station. She is obviously cultured and wears expensive clothes, but she is missing her hat and coat. Dunham helps her flee to Chicago but soon finds himself not only caught up in solving the mystery of Mary but also falling in love with her, whoever she is.
Grace Livingston Hill (1865-1947) published her first book in 1877, but it was not until she began writing what are known today as “Christian romances” that she achieved a wide following and success as a writer. From 1908 onward she wrote one to three novels a year for 40 years and is still read today for her inspirational stories of the power of love and faith is shaping people’s lives.
