Marcia Schuyler

Marcia Schuyler has spent her youth in her sister Kate's shadow, her own desires always secondary to Kate's endless wants. When Kate jilts her fiancé David Spafford at the altar, Marcia makes the ultimate sacrifice: she marries the abandoned man to save his reputation and her family's honor. But she moves into his home wearing Kate's cast-off clothes, living in spaces that still echo with her sister's presence, married to a man whose heart may still belong to another. This is the delicate, aching question that drives Grace Livingston Hill's beloved romance: can love be built from the wreckage of someone else's broken heart? When Kate, beautiful and selfish, decides she wants David back and begins weaving a web of deceit, Marcia must fight not for a man's affection, but for her own dignity. A tender exploration of what it means to give everything away and whether anything can ever truly be yours.
