Although I am a BIG fan of Grace Livingston Hill, this wasn't one of my favorite stories. It seemed a little slow She had a good message in the story, as all of her stories do, but I just didn't get into the story line that much. Marilyn Severn is the minister's daughter in Sabbath Valley and has just returned home from her years at college. She grew up knowing and hanging out with Mark Carter from her town but when she returns she finds him cold and distant from her. Mark will eventually become a prime suspect for a murder he did not commit and only one boy in town can prove his innocence, but he cannot be found. Sometimes it takes desperate times in people's lives to show them the love of the heavenly Father, and the love of people in your life that you don't think you are worthy of. A message of hope for the hopeless and of God working all things out for good because of those who love Him and are called according to His purposes. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
Sabbath Valley lay like a green jewel cupped in the hand of the surrounding mountains with the morning sun serene upon it picking out the clean smooth streets, the white houses with their green blinds, the maples with their clear cut leaves, the cosy brick school house wide winged and friendly, the vine clad stone church, and the little stone bungalow with low spreading roof that was the parsonage. The word manse had not yet reached the atmosphere. There were no affectations in Sabbath Valley. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

The story of Billy and Mark could have stood alone. Marilyn seemed to enter into it as an ideal only: Billy is her Sunday School student and admires both her and Mark and doesn't want to let her down. Mark and Marilyn were once thought to be an item but now Mark seems to have changed while Marilyn has remained unspoiled.
There's also the contrast of the worldly (Stafton and Opal) with the God-revering (Marilyn and her family).
The story was written long ago and doesn't conform to today's standards of storytelling in fiction. It was nice to have a story with a moral. A story where people tried to do the right thing for the right reasons. ( )
