Book Excerpt: 
. . .om above where the distant sky gave a line of light and a single star had appeared to pierce the dusk like a great jewel on a lady's gown, there arose a sound; blood-curdling and hideous, high, hollow, far-echoing, chilling her soul with horror and causing her heart to stand still with fear.

A sweet one! Quite classic GLH style. :) I'm borrowing my friend's Kindle, so I'm going through a lot of Kindle books right now.

Sweet story

I have read many of GLH books over the years, and this is one of her best. She was a true pioneer of Christian fiction that gives a clear Gospel message. I met a lady who came to trust Christ as Savior through reading one of her books.

Another lovely book by hill

One of her tales of perseverance, trying to become something, and loving someone who is a long way away from you.
