Best of the best

I've just begun reading Ms. Hill's books and am enjoying the journey. This particular story drew me in from the first page, and I loved it immensely. Michael is so honorable and selfless that it's impossible not to get on his bandwagon for helping his chums from his childhood and improve their lot. His love for Starr is pure and selfless as well. I loved the read so much that I would tell my husband about it each day, and he got to where he'd ask me what happened next. The final several chapters we actually read to each other and savored the ending together. We've never done that with any other book. This one was that special. The proverbial "must read."
Loved it!

This book is one of Grace Livingston Hill's best. I love the fact that Michael keeps his word about helping other "street kids" like himself. The romance eliment is subtle, but it's very powerful and touching.
Moving book, with wholesome romance and satisfying morale.

This book was really powerful. I am not a crier, but I found my emotions touched by this beautiful story. One can almost see the author's love for humankind shining through. The main character was a wonderful man, suitable for being a hero to any little boy. I think the author truly must have been inspired to write such a magnificent piece of literature. This book was so good, I wish that everybody could truly appreciate it like I do. I have several friends who have also discovered the beauty in this long-forgotten book. I am hoping to read more of this author
