A classic story of "boy meets girl" where she is rescued from the tyrannical clenches of her mother and an abusive background. Excerpt: "Through all the painful hours of the long, long night and the eventless day, while the mad throng rushed onward like a great river toward eternity's ocean, this thought was uppermost in my mind. I tried to get the physician to promise that he would not expose me, and show the world what a hollow mockery I had been, and how I had deceived my best friends. I told him the whole truth, and asked him to spare my family the humiliation of knowing that though I might have led a blameless life, my sunny exterior was only a thin covering for bran and shorts and middlings, cracked wheat and pearl barley."

Autorenporträt
Ethel M. Dell (1881–1939) was an early 20th-century British writer famed for her prolific contribution to the romantic fiction genre. Her work, characterized by intense emotion and often exotic settings, found a welcoming readership among those seeking escapism during the tumultuous years surrounding World War I. Dell's 'Greatheart' is one such novel that showcases her signature style of creating expansive, romantic narratives combined with spirited character development. Born Ethel May Dell in Streatham, a suburb of London, she initially pursued secretarial work before turning to writing full-time. Her debut novel, 'The Way of an Eagle' (1912), became an overnight success, paving the way for her subsequent works such as 'Greatheart' (1912), solidifying her status as a best-selling author of her time. Dell's novels, despite criticism from some literary circles for their melodramatic narratives, continued to enjoy popularity, particularly among female readers. Her works routinely threaded the dramatic themes of love, honor, and adventure, capturing the hearts of millions and ensuring her literary legacy within the romantic fiction milieu. Over her career, Dell authored more than 30 novels, and her contributions remain a fascinating reflection of early 20th-century popular literature.
