Publisher's comments - -
The Best Man is the story of a young hero who is pursued by desperate criminals straight into the arms of a pale and enigmatic girl who calls him her husband...In rescuing her from gravest danger, he saves her from a life of misery and shame and dares to claim her for his own."
About the author - -
"Mrs. Hill’s masculine heroes are almost too handsome and wonderful to be true! In fact, again, as a steady diet, they can easily separate the reader from the truth of life as it is for most of us. After spending an afternoon reading about the tall, dark, handsome, and wealthy man to the rescue, our man comes home who often is tired, dusty, and never seems to have enough money. There is an unconscious tendency to look at our plumber or mechanic, who is not nearly as sentimental and romantic as Mrs. Hill's debonair and thoughtful hero, and be disappointed with real-life, imperfect flesh and blood. If only we had met one of Mrs. Hill's heroes, how different our life might have been . . . Seeds of discontent can easily be sown in a woman's heart by the stories she reads. And what will a young lady feel toward her future husband once the newness of marriage has worn off, if she is used to being romanced by Mrs. Hill’s always perfect, wealthy heroes?
For whatever good they contain, Mrs. Hill's books would probably all fall under the classification "romance novels". We need to remember that romance novels with some good descriptions of Christians added are still romance novels. The highlight of each book is a romantic process based on random dating. In one in particular story, it was necessary to muddle through 80% of the book before there was even a mention of God or the Christian life. And what mention there was, was minimal, leaving no clear testimony."
