    One of my top 10 favorite books is Marcia Schuyler written by Grace Livingston Hill.
    To save her family from disgrace, Marcia, a young woman not much more than a girl, marries the man her sister was engaged to.
    In this new life of hers she struggles with being the wife of a man who does not love her, his disagreeable aunts, and unaccepting townspeople.  Her sister finds out what Marcia did and is angry.  What's more, a man she meets is determined to drag her name in the dirt when she rebuffs his attentions to her.
    But the little red-headed girl next door sticks to her through thick and thin and Marcia and Miranda become good friends, Miranda coming to Marcia's rescue a few times. 
    Things become worse when Marcia receives a note calling her to a tavern a ways from town where, unknown to her, the villain awaits.  Then when her sister shows up in town, Marcia believes all her dreams of happiness and love are ended.
   
    I am still not sure just what it is about this book that makes such a favorite but I find myself reading it over and over.  I adore Miranda and her temper.  The struggle Marcia's husband goes through was well written I think.  The villain was a perfectly hateable man.  I also like reading the descriptions of the dresses, hats, and bonnets in this book. 

    You can find Marcia Schuyler on Amazon, ebay, and Project Gutenberg.
