"Hannah's boy!" she murmured again, and laid her hand caressingly over the telegram, smoothing down a torn place in the edge of the paper. Luella and her mother were discussing plans. They had decided that they must leave on the early train the next morning, before there was any chance of the Western visitor's arriving...
The Finding of Jasper Holt is a classic Christian romance by Grace Livingston Hill. "A midnight train wreck, a beautiful girl rescued by a brave and handsome cavalier; what could make a more interesting beginning to a romance? Add to this a very intense business rivalry and a plot which hinges on the finding of some important papers which had been stolen, and in which the girl was unconsciously involved, and you will have some idea of the elements which go to make this such an absorbing tale. It is written in Mrs. Hill's best manner and her heart and humor are on every page."
A beautiful woman is on the run, but from what? She meets a helpful stranger at the train station, but is reluctant to reveal the mysteries of her past that are haunt her present. Then, she is gone. If he is ever to understand the mysterious Mary, he must find out where she went.
