Grace Livingston Hill (1865-1947) was an early 20th Century "Christian Romance" novelist. She was immensely popular in the time that she wrote, contributing hundreds of novels and short stories during her lifetime. Her characters were most often young female ingenues, frequently strong Christian women or those who become so within the confines of the story. Graces 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-heartedness 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. Jesus, the ever-present (though unseen) reoccurring character, manages to heal or mend any situation Grace imagined. It was no wonder that in her days she was known as the "Queen of Christian Romance. " Her works include: The Girl from Montana (1908), The Mystery of Mary (1911) and Lo, Michael (1913).

The mystery woman appears out of nowhere as Tryon is walking away from the train station. She tells him she is in danger and asks for his help to see her to safety. Much happens before Tryon finally puts her on a train to Chicago, without learning her name or what she is running from. Tyron just cannot forget this woman he has called Mary, so after many months he sets out for Chicago on business, but is also determined to find Mary and make sure she is safe. Meanwhile Mary has to find a job, which she has never had to do in her life, and live a life of obscurity. (When you find out why at the end, you will understand her great dilemma.) As you know Tryon and Mary will finally meet, the truth will come out, the damsel in distress will be rescued and love will blossom. But it was interesting to read and especially to learn the evil plan that was meant for Mary. ( )
