Ladies on the Run

De: Grace Livingston Hill

Narrado por: Anne Hancock

A prolific writer of Christian romances, Grace Livingston Hill also excelled in creating novels of suspense. These tales highlight three women who, through pluck and cleverness, strive to escape the menace that envelops them. (Of course, being GLH stories, there are always romantic possibilities!)

The Red Signal

Hilda Lessing's family is in financial straits and she is forced to take a job doing housework at a Midwest farm. But while World War I rages in Europe, there are rumors that the area houses spies and she is soon overwhelmed by a nameless dread. The German farmhands are crude and she suspects a plot. She has one huge advantage: none of them knows that she is completely fluent in German and can understand every word they say ...

The White Flower

It seemed a good idea at the time. Rachel Rainsford needed a job, and when she secured employment as a companion to an old lady across the country, it offered a wonderful opportunity to see another part of America. But her employer's behavior on the train westward is disturbing. When a fellow traveler, a former student of her father's, overhears a plot to kidnap her, he suggests a daring escape. But who should she trust?

Not Under the Law

Immediately after the death of the aunt who raised her, Joyce Radway's cousins treat her like a servant, even blocking her attempt to qualify as a teacher and earn her own living. Impulsively, she grabs her hat and purse and escapes their grasp. With meager funds and an innate talent for solving problems, Joyce selects a town at random and sets out to construct a new life. Then she discovers an old friend is in trouble and her testimony will clear him. After overcoming so many obstacles, should she risk returning?
