Found Treasure

By Grace Livingston Hill

Book Overview

"Found Treasure" is a heartwarming and inspirational tale by the prolific novelist Grace Livingston Hill. The story follows the journey of Effie, a spirited young woman who feels out of place in her social circle and overlooked by those around her. Through a series of unexpected encounters and life-changing events, she discovers that true value is not found in material wealth or social standing, but in faith, character, and the beauty of a selfless life.

As Effie navigates the challenges of her youth, she encounters a group of individuals who challenge her perceptions and lead her toward a deeper understanding of grace. The novel masterfully blends elements of wholesome romance with a strong moral foundation, characteristic of Hill's beloved storytelling style. Readers will find themselves drawn into a world where kindness triumphs over cynicism and where the greatest treasures are often found in the most unlikely of places.

With its gentle narrative and timeless themes of redemption and personal transformation, "Found Treasure" remains a classic example of early twentieth-century Christian fiction. It offers a poignant reflection on the importance of staying true to one's convictions while seeking a purposeful life guided by spiritual principles.

Good book

Great book. Once I started reading it I could not put it down until I finished it.

Effie grows up

Euphemia Martin hates her name and wishes she could grow up faster. Her older sister and that crowd of friends want to shut tomboy Effie out of their activities, starting with a "welcome back" picnic outing for Lawrence Earle. Lawrence wants no truck with the girls and in slipping away from them, he and the outcast Effie bump into each other during an exciting and daring adventure. They become supportive friends and Lawrence is particularly in favor of Euphemia's name and what its original meaning is from the Bible. Effie sets out to see if she can change her reputation and truly become graceful Euphemia - "Of Good Report". Tremendous coming-of-age saga sans the usual romance from Grace Livingston Hill, but a delightfully absorbing story.
