Page 31 of The Prodigal Girl


  Betty lifted wondering, startled eyes that filled with humble tears.

  “Oh, David,” she said sadly, “I love you. Yes I love you. I didn’t know there was anything like love before. I thought it was all bunk. But David, I’m not good enough for you. I’m”—she caught her breath in a sob and laid her face against his shoulder—“I’m unclean!”

  “Whom Jesus Christ had cleansed is not unclean, Betty darling! ‘The king’s daughter is all glorious within.’” And he laid his lips reverently upon hers and drew her close to his heart.

  The next day the Thorntons went back to their home to begin a new life. As they drove up to the house they saw a beautiful blue Mermaid Eight parked at the door.

  “That,” said Chester to Betty, “is by way of a birthday present. I saw how things were going, and I thought I’d like to get it in before it had to be a wedding gift.”

  GRACE LIVINGSTON HILL (1865–1947) is known as the pioneer of Christian romance. Grace wrote more than a hundred faith-inspired books during her lifetime. When her first husband died, leaving her with two daughters to raise, writing became a way to make a living, but she always recognized storytelling as a way to share her faith in God. She has touched countless lives through the years and continues to touch lives today. Her books feature moving stories, delightful characters, and love in its purest form.
