Marcia Schuyler

I have read many of Grace Livingston Hill's books, and I think this is my favorite. It is a story of a wife's deepening and maturing love, and a husband discovering his love for the woman he married. I especially enjoyed her description of David as he finally realizes how much he does love his wife. Holds up a high ideal of marriage.

Grace Livingston Hill was my idol. I had been reading lurid, sexy books and then, I became a Christian. Then I realized these were not the healthiest books to read for a young Christian trying to grow in Christ. I, then, read 89 of Grace's books. I scoured the stores for more until there were no more to be had. That's when I decided wholesome romance books were in demand but in short supply. Grace's books were my greatest inspiration and what encouraged me to write Christian Romance myself. Still, many years later, I'm still (sign) hoping to come across a title of hers I may have missed.

I'm 18 years old and I never read romance novels until I found some Grace Livingston Hill books that my mom bought. Marcia Schuyler was the first I read... I guess the picture caught my eye. I started reading it, and I could NOT put it down!!! I was laughing about it with my brother, telling him, "I'm actually gonna go read a romance novel now. I'll let you know how it is!" but I LOVED it!! The story was so captivating! I read the whole book, all 300 and some pages worth, in one night!!! *laughs* Since then, I have gotten alot of the other books and have really enjoyed my time reading them. Still, "Marcia Schuyler" is my FAVORITE!! I've read it 2 times, and it's also my mom's favorite. Grace Livingston Hill really captured a unique story with this one, a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat, waiting to find out what happens next. I think it is so sweet how the two main characters finally realize how much they love each other in the end. If you want a sweet, clean, wholesome novel, I highly suggest reading this one!! I've even given it as gifts to my friends. :)

The first book I read as a teenager, and have decided to read allof Hill's books 50 years later. it brings back memories of how things used to be then, and how things OUGHT to be now!
