The Witness (Esprios Classics)

Grace Livingston Hill (April 16 1865 - February 23 1947) was an early 20th-century novelist and wrote both under her real name and the pseudonym Marcia Macdonald. She wrote over 100 novels and numerous short stories. Her characters were most often young Christian women or become Christians within the confines of the story. Hill's writing career began as a child in the 1870s writing short stories for her aunt's weekly children's publication The Pansy. Her first story printed in book form was The Esselstynes which was published in 1877 as part of the Mother's Boys and Girls Library by D. Lothrop and Company.
