Exit Betty

Betty Thornwood stood at the altar and could not speak her vows. Instead of promising to love, honor, and obey a man she barely knows, she ran - out of the church, onto a train, into an uncertain future. Grace Livingston Hill's tender romance follows Betty as she charts her own course, far from the overbearing family and suitable groom they selected for her. What she finds instead - friendship, purpose, and perhaps unexpected love - tests everything she thought she knew about happiness. Hill writes with warmth and gentle wisdom, exploring a woman's right to refuse a life that doesn't fit her, and to wait for something genuine. First published in 1916, this is vintage romantic fiction: clean, hopeful, and firmly believing that the right love is worth waiting for. Perfect for readers who enjoy gentle historical romance with substance.
