Autorenporträt

Grace Livingston Hill (1865-1947) was a pioneer of the Christian romance genre, whose literary career left a lasting footprint on the landscape of inspirational fiction. Born in Wellsville, New York, Hill was the daughter of a Presbyterian minister, and she grew up immersed in religious faith, an influence that would become a cornerstone of her writing. She published her first novel, 'A Chautauqua Idyl', in 1887, which was followed by more than one hundred others. Her stories, characterized by strong moral and spiritual themes, were set against the backdrop of early twentieth-century America and addressed contemporary social issues through a Christian lens. Hill's writing style often involved clear-cut narratives and straightforward prose, infusing her romance plots with evangelical zeal, aiming to both entertain and inspire her readers. Her works were immensely popular in their time, resonating with readers seeking both spiritual uplift and wholesome entertainment. Although Hill passed away in the mid-20th century, her books continue to be cherished by fans of Christian fiction, serving as a testament to her enduring legacy.
