The heartfelt classic of inspiration and romance, based on a true story. A picture of ideal girlhood set in the time of full skirts and poke bonnets.

When her sister abandons her intended groom at the altar, Marcia steps into her place. Family members are outraged and new husband David harbors doubts about marrying a stand-in. If their marriage is to succeed, David needs to recognize the true, sweet nature that Marcia brings to the union. Grace Livingston Hill (1865-1947) was an early 20th Century Christian Romance novelist. She was immensely popular, contributing hundreds of novels and short stories during her lifetime. Grace Livingston Hill's messages are quite simplistic in nature: good versus evil. As Grace believed the Bible was very clear about what was good and what was evil in life, she reflected that cut-and-dried design in her own works. She touched on subjects such as infidelity, defiance, hard-hardheartedness towards God, and deception, to name just a few. Grace wrote about them all and could manage a happy, or at least satisfactory, ending to any situation.
