About this ebook

Hilda Thorn has been raised in quiet religious discipline, but a recent spiritual awakening has turned her from a girl who once longed for worldly excitement into one determined to live for Christ. Sent from a reserved London household to her guardian's lively country home in Hertfordshire, she must navigate a family that is cheerful, outspoken, and largely indifferent to religion. Clutching her Bible and the words "Dwell deep," Hilda seeks strength in prayer and Scripture, even as teasing, scrutiny, and social pressure test her resolve. As she settles in, Hilda's compassion and conviction lead her beyond private devotion. After rescuing an injured little boy, she begins to imagine a Sunday School for the village children, hoping to do practical Christian work. But her seriousness unsettles the Forsyth household: her Bible reading becomes dinner-table discussion, her refusal of theatricals and dancing sparks conflict, and her honesty draws both mockery and concern. General Forsyth dismisses her principles, Kenneth Forsyth needles her with wit and gossip, and Miss Rayner offers a more thoughtful but still limited view of morality. Through it all, Hilda wrestles with conscience, responsibility, and the cost of standing firm in a world that prizes amusement over faith. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.

About the author

Amy Le Feuvre was a British writer of children's fiction and devotional literature whose life and work reflected the moral and spiritual concerns of late Victorian and Edwardian England. Born into a devout Christian family, she grew up in an atmosphere that valued faith, duty, and the inner life, influences that shaped both her character and her writing. Over the course of her career, she became widely loved for stories that combined engaging narrative with clear moral purpose, especially in books for young readers. Her fiction often follows children and adolescents as they wrestle with pride, obedience, suffering, and the call to trust God, yet she never reduces them to simple lessons; instead, she gives them emotional warmth, memorable characters, and a sincere belief that everyday choices matter. What makes her work enduring is its attention to conscience, resilience, and the quiet formation of character, themes that still speak to readers navigating questions of identity, values, and faith today. Le Feuvre's legacy lies in her ability to write with both tenderness and conviction, offering stories that encouraged generations of readers while remaining accessible and heartfelt. Readers who enjoy classic children's literature, faith-centered fiction, and stories of moral growth will find her especially rewarding.
