- Synopsis
- [From the front dust jacket flap:] For twenty-seven years, Martha Spicer's life had followed the same dreary, predictable pattern. By day she was employed as the reliable buyer for women's lingerie in a large department store where she was derogatorily referred to as "Spice Box." Every evening she returned to a lonely room in a third-rate boarding house. However, Martha's life changed rapidly when she inherited the home of the aunt and uncle she had visited dutifully twice a year. Much of the change was due to the influence of the boisterous yet friendly boy next door, Ronald MacFarland. Although at first Martha looked upon him as a "hoodlum," his infectious grin and unselfish deeds soon won her heart. With the aid of his creativity and hard work, Martha transformed the dark and dreary house into a bright, cozy, and comfortable home. Martha's personality also transformed as she poured out her pent-up love, happiness, and generosity upon neighbors, co-workers, and even needy people she didn't know. Therefore, when Ronald rescued a homeless, tired, and starving young woman who had fainted from hunger and illness, he knew who would be willing to nurse her back to health. Sure enough, as soon as Martha Spicer laid eyes on the sickly yet beautiful girl, her heart and help went out to her. But she was alarmed by the stranger's condition. Was it too late to save her? Martha was puzzled, too. Who was this fragile, delicate young lady? What had driven her to flee her home and family?" You'll find many more books by Grace Livingston Hill in the Bookshare collection including Exit Betty with many more to come.
