About this book

What does it take to hold to your beliefs when the country around you offers few comforts?

In A Voice in the Wilderness, Grace Livingston Hill places a young teacher in the wide, rough country of the American West. Distance, weather and few comforts test her resolve. At the heart of her journey lies a question: how do you turn faith into daily action?

This gentle romance brings Christian belief, courage and love into the same story. Hill makes character matter: steadiness shapes relationships, and respect gives love room to grow. The pull is not toward a fast, violent Western, but toward the quiet strength of someone facing difficulty without surrendering her convictions.
