The good folk of Centerville were scandalized! Mrs. Fenton, a simple housewife, was having gatherings in her parlor, where she had the gall to mix idle, uneducated folk with members of the well-educated upper class. There, along with a law student and an eminent professor, sat a housemaid and the cigar-smoking, good-for-nothing Ward boys and their equally idle companion Paul! The reason for their monthly gatherings? To form Centerville's own chapter of the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Society! Convinced this was a foolish enterprise, the townspeople made no secret of their distaste that such a ludicrous mix of people would gather to study ancient Rome, theology . . . and the Bible. Then, beyond anyone's wildest imaginings, miracles began to happen. Heartwarming stories of faith and love by Grace Livingston Hill's aunt―Isabella Alden.

The Hall in the Grove (GLH Library)

They were unlikely companions, the pampered Pliny Hastings, solidly brought-up Benny Phillips, and uneducated street scamp “Tode” Mall . . . not much chance, under ordinary circumstances, that they would ever meet. But God's plans are never ordinary, and the greatest miracles need only the seed of a tiny prayer to bring them to fruition. Thus it was one day in the repulsive rubbish heap of humanity known as “Five Points” that a dying mother showed her ragged, neglected boy the only kindness he would ever know from her when she prayed. “O Lord, don't ever let Tode touch a drop or rum!” And so that one small, desperate prayer went forth, setting in motion the beginnings of hope―and stirring in little Tode a determination so great that it transformed not only his life, but also the lives of the astonishingly different people whom he came to know, protect . . . and love.Heartwarming stories of faith and love by Grace Livingston Hill's aunt―Isabella Alden.

Life in turn-of-the-century Newton seemed sweet and simple, especially for young Abbie Sayles and her dear friend, Dell Bronson. Yet life could be complicated in a social system where privileged ladies were expected to socialize during the week only with other ladies, then worship on Sunday in the same pews as their hired help. Gentle, pure-hearted Abbie and spirited Dell took no stock in class snobbery, but the new minister in town did. And when this self-absorbed man arrived at Regent Street Church with his haughty and childish wife, he had no time for the humbler members of his flock. Soon people were wondering how much of the man's faith was genuine. Dell, who shared a painful past with the minister, had an idea. But Someone else knew the whole truth, and He would leave no stone unturned to reclaim His own. Heartwarming stories of faith and love by Grace Livingston Hill's aunt―Isabella Alden.
