The Tryst

A Romance Forged in Fire and Finished in Faith lightly ANNOTATED

He was a young preacher who refused a glittering pulpit to work shoulder-to-shoulder with factory hands. She was the runaway heiress hiding from a family that never claimed her heart. Neither of them knew the other was only a river’s width away—until the night the whole worlds were about to burn.

In a single breathless evening of pursuit, confession, and courage, Patty Merrill and John Treeves are hurled together by danger and drawn forever by love. From the smoky tenements beside a roaring industrial plant to a secret hilltop village built on nothing but faith and a fortune, The Tryst is vintage Grace Livingston Hill (writing as Gabrielle Clifty): romance that thrills, faith that triumphs, and a happy ending you’ll want to read twice.

Rediscovered and restored after nearly a century out of print—a heart-lifting classic for every lover of wholesome, uplifting fiction.
