This is a book with 10 short stories. It is an excellent example of the kind of writer Grace Livingston Hill is and why I enjoy and appreciate her writings. She writes each story with a message or lesson she is trying to convey and she is not afraid to share the gospel or what God is trying to teach us in His word. I thoroughly enjoyed each short story, from start to finish. It made me think how I am living my life and the difference I can make to those around me. We often say one thing and live another and some of the stories dealt with that topic. I just appreciated what this author was trying to get across in each of these short stories. She will continue to be one of my favorite authors.
