    About this ebook

    This is the chance of a lifetime! thought Alan wistfully as he gazed at his professor's letter offering him a place in the archaeological expedition to Egypt. But with his father seriously ill from an automobile accident and the whole worry of the hardware store on Alan's young shoulders, he couldn't take it. And Sherry's family thought that her chance had come with the invitation to visit her rich uncle in New York, for they did not suspect the rudeness and sophistication which she would meet there. But Sherry proves her worth and her courage to her uncle and both she and Alan find their chances where they had not expected them, and happiness beyond their brightest dreams...

    Grace Livingston Hill

    Grace Livingston Hill was an early–twentieth century novelist who wrote both under her real name and the pseudonym Marcia Macdonald. She wrote more than one hundred novels and numerous short stories. She was born in Wellsville, New York, in 1865 to Marcia Macdonald Livingston and her husband, Rev. Charles Montgomery Livingston. Hill’s writing career began as a child in the 1870s, writing short stories for her aunt’s weekly children’s publication, The Pansy. She continued writing into adulthood as a means to support her two children after her first husband died. Hill died in 1947 in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania.
