This is a great little book. I stayed up last night to finish it.

One of Grace Livingston Hill's best

Phoebe Deane is a beautiful orphan who is forced to live with her much older half-brother, who is rather indifferent to say the least, and his jealous wife, who enjoys putting Phoebe to work a little more than she should. Phoebe accepts her life, disappointing as it is, and makes the best of it. But a middle-aged widower who lives nearby with his passle of ill-behaved children is about to turn her life upside down with his near obsession with making her his wife. Naturally, he has her family's support and they go out of their way to throw them together...unknowingly putting Phoebe in grave danger. But all this is made bearable by an unforgetable meeting with a handsome young stranger in the woods who is willing to protect Phoebe where her family will not.A beautiful love story of faith, intrigue, and endurance that put me very much in mind of Cinderella. Anyone who likes Grace Livingston Hill's books should check this out. It is definately one of her best works.
