For fans of 'Little Women' by Louisa May Alcott, and the movie adaption starring Emma Watson, Florence Pugh and Timothée Chalamet - a celebration of the strength of women in the least fortuitous of circumstances. Grace Livingston Hill was the pen name of American author Marcia Macdonald (1865-1947). She came from a family of authors and began writing short stories from a young age for her aunt’s weekly children magazine ‘The Pansy’. As a young woman she wrote to help bring funds in for her family. Funds became an even larger motivation following the loss of her first husband and then father only a year later. In her career, Hill published over 100 novels and short stories, they often featured young Christian women in love, the theme of good versus evil, and the importance of redemption.
