This one was just so sweet. It’s definitely one of my favorites of Grace Livingston Hill’s works! Dale is a young woman during the Depression years who is orphaned and making her way in the big city. (Other than the difficulty finding work, the Depression figures very little.) She is facing winter in a cold city when her boss dies and the office is closed up. Since she was boarding in his house, she has to find a new place to live at the same time as her new job. Much of the book goes into her attempts to find permanent work and her life as a single boarder, and the baby mentioned in the book blurb doesn’t appear until about halfway.
I enjoyed Dale as a character and I also enjoyed the clear portrayal of the Gospel (occurring naturally instead of preached in forcibly) in the story. Definitely belongs in the “Christian fiction” section.
