Customer Reviews

A wonderful fairytale!

It has been years since I've read any of Grace Livingston Hill's books ~~ my great-grandmother would read them to me and loaned me her books. And this one is one of my favorites. I found it in a library booksale and snapped it up. Reading it again reminds me of a happier time in life. Camilla meets Jeffrey, a young millionare at the scene of an accident. She had been racing to get to the doctor's office to get medicine for her mother ~~ and since her car was totaled in the accident, Jeffrey offers to help her out. And this is just the beginning of a truly lovely romance.Romance isn't written like this anymore. I was very young when I first read this one and re-reading it again, it still holds a special appeal to me. This is the way romance should be written ~~ with grace and humor and love. It is spiritual but not crass like a lot of inspirational books nowadays. This is a book I'd loan to my nieces if they were interested.This is a definite picker-upper for your library!10-3-03

White Orchids

A romance develops between the damsel in distress and her rescuer, and culminates in the spiritual birth of them both. It sounds like the standard GLH romance: gorgeous, impoverished but refined heroine with an ailing mother, rich and handsome man-to-the-rescue. But the characters are some of the most appealing of any in GLH's romances. I can read this one over and over.

Romantic!

I've read almost all of Grace Livingston Hill's books, and this remains a favorite. The hero is particularly appealing, and the relationship is believable and compelling. The friendships that Camilla and Jeff develop add nicely to the story.
