The Gold Shoe

By Grace Livingston Hill

Book Overview

"The Gold Shoe" is a charming and heartwarming work of inspirational romance by the beloved author Grace Livingston Hill. The story follows Tannie, a young woman who finds herself caught in a sudden and perilous blizzard after a social event. When she loses a delicate gold slipper in the snow, she is rescued by a dedicated young man whose values and faith contrast sharply with the superficiality of the high-society world Tannie has known.

As the narrative unfolds, Hill explores themes of integrity, spiritual awakening, and the search for authentic love. The encounter in the storm serves as a catalyst for Tannie to re-evaluate her life choices and the people she surrounds herself with. Set against the backdrop of the early 20th century, the novel provides a vivid depiction of the era's social dynamics while delivering a timeless message about the importance of character over wealth. "The Gold Shoe" is a classic example of Hill's ability to weave together suspense, wholesome romance, and moral reflection, making it a compelling read for those who appreciate traditional storytelling and uplifting themes.

Classic Classy Christian Romance

From the 1920s comes this wholesome refreshing book by the prolific author, Grace Livingston Hill. Over a 100 books from the 1880s to the 1940s! And, this is one of her best! Every book by Hill is a keeper to read over and over like an old friend.

One of my favorites

This is one of the best books written by Mrs. Hill. It is a sweet romance without all the junk that is in the normal book today. I loved it!!

Nice old fashioned story!

I enjoyed this book very much. A socialite is rescued from a snow storm by a young minister and left with his mother. She is worldly but charming and sweet and both Mother and son are taken with her. The problem for the Mother is that she sees Tasha for the potential harm she could be to her son, but she genuinely likes her. Another young woman then appears on the homefront, one who MIGHT be perfect for her son but who in reality makes her(the Mother) absolutely crazy. The story is rich and original with lots of lessons painlessly woven. This story beautifully shows Ms Hill's skill as a writer.

Good Clean Christian Love Story

I enjoy all of Grace Livingston Hill's books. They are good clean Christian romance stories. This one was one of my favorite, that showed how a worldly person can become right with God, and find true love in the process. They don't make heros like this one any more!!!

The Gold Shoe

I loved this book, I just couldn't wait to turn the page to see what was next.I have read many of Grace Livingston Hills books and i actually have not found a one i didn't like.

The most valuable things are those money can't buy...

Wealthy, spoiled Tasha Endicott has lived a life of plenty. Only when she is left alone and unprotected in a blizzard, rescued by handsome minister Thurly MacDonald, and cared for by his gentle Scottish mother during the brutal storm does she realize that her life is missing the one thing her money can't buy. Unable to return to the life she once knew, yet unable to fit in with the type of life the MacDonald's lead, Tasha must face difficult questions about her future. If only bossy, scheming Hesba Hamilton doesn't succeed in stopping her from getting close to the one family that might somehow tell her the secret of their happiness and joy...
