Narration Concering Books Exit Betty
Every so often I pick up this book by Grace Livingston Hill - probably more often than any other. Here is the classic runaway bride, in a not quite so classic completely evil situation. The way this poor girl is manipulated and frightened half to death makes my blood boil even on the dozenth reading. But Betty comes through with the help of some really amazing new friends. And of course the bad guys get the comeuppance so richly deserved. This is a true favorite worthy of being read another dozen times.Define Books During Exit Betty

I have this on my Kindle so I'm missing out on the gorgeous cover above--that looks like a Cinderella gown, doesn't it! The runaway bride is Betty Stanhope, who is desperate to ALTER her icky situation of being forced to marry a stepbrother(!). But is there new hope for Miss Stanhope beyond the Bexit? It's Grace Livingston Hill, so yes...but how? Return your R.S.V.P. and share this story with as many "Plus One"s as you think will enjoy Betty's trek to a better situation.Thanks for reading.
Hard for me to get excited about such an old-fashioned, Christian-themed book, but I am glad I read it. It was entertaining and full of action despite dated language and ideas.
I am never disappointed with a Grace Livingston Hill book. Just a delight!
A runaway bride, a delightful family, some despicable relatives, and a lawyer in shining armour make this story a charming read!(I actually read the Xist Kindle version which I got for free, but I just love the cover of this one in Tyndale's Living Books series.)
