‘Aunt Crete’s Emancipation’ follows Miss Lucretia Ward or ‘Crete’ to her family, as she navigates life with her rude sister Carrie and her spoilt niece Luella. They treat the older Crete like a maid more than a family member but everything will change when cousin Donald Grant visits from out west. Carrie and Luella shun the ‘backwoods’ cousin but Crete welcomes him with loving and open arms, changing everyone’s lives forever. If you love Cinderella this story is perfect for you, it is a loving and relaxed read, full of brilliant characters and description, where goodness is satisfyingly rewarded and evil punished. Grace Livingston Hill was the pen name of American author Marcia Macdonald (1865-1947). She came from a family of authors and began writing short stories from a young age for her aunt’s weekly children magazine ‘The Pansy’. As a young woman she wrote to help bring funds in for her family. Funds became an even larger motivation following the loss of her first husband and then father only a year later. In her career, Hill published over 100 novels and short stories, they often featured young Christian women in love, the theme of good versus evil, and the importance of redemption.

How is this book unique? Font adjustments & biography included Unabridged (100% Original content) Illustrated About Aunt Crete's Emancipation by Grace Livingston Hill Miss Lucretia Ward lives with her sister, Carrie, and her niece, Luella, who frequently impose on her good nature. Mother and daughter expect most of the housework to be done by Aunt Crete, along with much of the sacrifice necessary to keep Luella happy and dressed in the latest fashion. When a telegram arrives from the west with news of an impending visit from Crete's and Carrie's nephew, Donald Grant, Carrie and Luella are not pleased at all. Assuming that Donald, their "backwoods cousin," will not know how to "behave in polite company," they rush off to a fancy resort in order to avoid certain embarrassment. Aunt Crete doesn't mind staying at home while they go to the seashore for a holiday with their high-society friends. She's just concerned about how she'll explain their rudeness to Donald. The man who comes knocking on Aunt Crete's door is tall and handsome, and the picture of refinement. As it turns out, he's very wealthy. Donald takes Aunt Crete shopping and pays for French maids to fix up her hair. Then he takes her to the resort where Luella and Carrie are staying, setting off a series of not-so-pleasant surprises for them.

“WHO'S at the front door?” asked Luella's mother, coming in from the kitchen with a dish-towel in her hand. “I thought I heard the door-bell.”“Luella's gone to the door,” said her sister from her vantage-point at the crack of the sitting-room door. “It looks to me like a telegraph boy.”“It couldn't be, Crete,” said Luella's mother impatiently, coming to see for herself. “Who would telegraph now that Hannah's dead?”Lucretia was short and dumpy, with the comfortable, patient look of the maiden aunt that knows she is indispensable because she will meekly take all the burdens that no one else wants to bear. Her sister could easily look over her head into the hall, and her gaze was penetrative and alert.“I'm sure I don't know, Carrie,” said Lucretia apprehensively; “but I'm all of a tremble. Telegrams are dreadful things.”

Not illustrated. 1911 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER III A WONDERFUL DAY Aunt Crete woke up at last from an uncomfortable dream. She thought Carrie and Luella had come back, and were about to snatch Donald away from her and bear him off to the shore. She arose in haste and smoothed her hair, astonished at the freshness of her own face in the glass. She was afraid she had overslept and lost some of the precious time with Donald. There was so much to ask him, and he was so good to look at. She hurried down and was received warmly. Donald's meditations had culminated in a plan. "Sit down, Aunt Crete; are you sure you are rested? Then I want to talk. Suppose we run down to the shore and surprise the folks. How soon could you be ready?" "0 dear heart! I couldn't do that!" exclaimed Aunt Crete, her face nevertheless alight with pleasure at the very thought. "Why not? What's to hinder?" "O, I never go. I always stay at home and attend to things." "But that's no reason. Why couldn't things attend to themselves?" "Why, I couldn't leave the house alone." "Now, what in the world could possibly happen to the house that you could prevent by staying in it? Be reasonable, dear aunt. You know the house won't run away while you are gone, and, if it does, I'll get you another one. You don't mean to tell me you never go off on a vacation. Then it's high time you went, and you'll have to stay the longer to make up for lost time. Besides, I want your company. I've never seen the Eastern coast, and expect to enjoy it hugely; but I need somebody to enjoy it with me. I can't half take things in alone. I want somebody my very own to go with me. That's what I came here for. I had thought of inviting you all to go down for a little trip; but, as the others are down there, why, we can join them." Aunt Crete's...
