AUTHORS BIOGRAPHY…..
Grace Livingston Hill (April 16, 1865 – February 23, 1947) was an early 20th-century novelist and wrote under her real name and the pseudonym Marcia Macdonald. She has written more than a hundred novels and numerous short stories. Her characters were most often young Christian women or became Christians within the confines of the story.
Hill's writing career began when she was a child in the 1870s, writing short stories for her aunt's weekly children's publication, The Pansy. His first story printed in book form was The Esselstynes, which was published in 1877 as part of the "Mother's Boys and Girls Library/" by D. Lothrop & Company. A Chautauqua Idyl, his first book as a young adult, was written in 1887 to earn enough money for a family trip from his home in Florida to the Chautauqua summer gathering in Chautauqua, New York. This illustrated allegory of a Chautauqua gathering organized by flowers, trees, and animals was published in time to go on sale that summer and brought in enough revenue to take the family there. Several books written in collaboration with his family followed in the early 1890s, as well as his only children's book, A Little Servant.
Lack of money was a frequent motivation, particularly after the death of her first husband, which left her with two young children and no income other than from her writing. After Hill's father died less than a year later, her mother came to live with her. This prompted Hill to write more frequently. During and after her failed ten-year marriage to her second husband Flavius Josephus Lutz, a church organist 15 years her junior, she continued to write to support her children and mother. She stopped using the last name Lutz after their separation in May 1914. Although many of her earlier novels were aimed specifically at proselytizing, Hill's editors frequently removed overt references to religious themes. After her publishers realized the popularity of her books, references to religious topics were allowed to remain, although she later modified her writing style to appeal to a more secular audience. Grace Livingston Hill's final book, Mary Arden, was completed by her daughter, Ruth Hill Munce, writing under the name Ruth Livingston Hill, and published in 1948.
