📱 eBook en inglés EXIT BETTY (SUMMARIZED EDITION)

Exit Betty begins when a cosseted heiress bolts from an arranged wedding and vanishes into the city, where unexpected kindness teaches her to reckon value apart from wealth and name. Hill marries melodrama to domestic realism, alternating breathless escapes with intimate kitchen-table scenes. Lucid, swiftly paced, and gently didactic, the novel belongs to early twentieth‑century inspirational romance, engaging postwar tensions around class, female agency, and urban temptation as Betty discovers work, friendship, and a love grounded in character rather than status. Grace Livingston Hill (1865–1947), a mainstay of American evangelical fiction, grew up in a Presbyterian household and learned narrative craft beside her aunt, the bestselling Isabella Macdonald Alden ("Pansy"). Writing to support family and to minister through story, Hill drew on church missions and womens societies to people her pages with credible working households. Exit Betty channels her concern for young women pressured by moneyed worlds, modeling hospitality, honest labor, and moral courage as instruments of freedom. Recommended to readers of wholesome romance and scholars of popular religion alike, this brisk, satisfying tale pairs moral clarity with social bite. Its vivid set pieces and critique of coercive wealth invite discussion in classrooms and book clubs.
