Set in a shabby turn-of-the-century boardinghouse, A Daily Rate follows a young wage-earner whose quiet disciplines-cleanliness, thrift, beauty, and prayer-gradually redeem a demoralized household. Hill blends domestic realism with evangelical melodrama: brisk scenes and conversion moments are offset by shrewd observations of urban labor and female friendship.

Produktbeschreibung
Set in a shabby turn-of-the-century boardinghouse, A Daily Rate follows a young wage-earner whose quiet disciplines-cleanliness, thrift, beauty, and prayer-gradually redeem a demoralized household. Hill blends domestic realism with evangelical melodrama: brisk scenes and conversion moments are offset by shrewd observations of urban labor and female friendship. Rooted in the sentimental tradition yet alert to Progressive Era questions of housing, wages, and reform, the romance becomes a blueprint for communal renewal. Grace Livingston Hill wrote from a devout Presbyterian milieu and an apprenticeship under her aunt, the bestselling "Pansy" (Isabella Macdonald Alden). Prolific and practical, she treated fiction as livelihood and ministry, drawing on Christian Endeavor work and firsthand knowledge of city missions and women's wages to imagine holiness cultivated in ordinary rooms. Recommended for readers of American religious literature, women's domestic narratives, and Progressive Era social history, A Daily Rate rewards close attention to cultural detail while offering accessible moral insight. It is an inviting entry to Hill's oeuvre and a persuasive study of everyday ethics transformed by grace. Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the author's voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readable-distilled, never diluted. Enriched Edition extras: Introduction · Synopsis · Historical Context · Brief Analysis · 4 Reflection Q&As · Editorial Footnotes.

Autorenporträt
Grace Livingston Hill 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 and her characters are most often young female Christian women or those who become so within the confines of the story. Hill's messages are simple in nature: good versus evil. As Hill believed that the Bible was very clear about what was good and evil in life and had firm faith God's ability to restore everything, the same belief was also reflected in her own works. Even today Hill's novels are widely read and appreciated for their romance and their inspiring life lessons.
