Grace Livingston Hill collection no. 7

Collection No. 7 contains four stories: "Lo, Michael", "The Patch of Blue", and "The Unknown God", by Grace Livingston Hill, and "Stephen Mitchell's Journey" by Isabella Alden.

Lo, Michael Mickey, a young newsboy, saves the life of heiress Starr Endicott by taking the gunman's bullet himself. To show his gratitude, Delevan Endicott sends the boy off to school where he matures and then returns to the inner city to help his old friends. Through the years he has held Starr in his heart but refuses to intrude on her life. Suddenly, he learns she's in danger - a danger she has unwittingly chosen. Can he save her again, and should he?

The Patch of Blue Chris has no idea of listening to the sermon. He's happily daydreaming of returning to college in the new sports car his father is buying for him. In fact, when his ears catch a few words about being thankful in the hard times, he's sorry he's heard even that much. But a sudden bank failure, a gunshot wound, and a family crisis alter Chris's dreams forever, and he finds himself in a place he never expected to be.

The Unknown God It is Brad Benedict's first night in the city, and he has nowhere to go. But when he stoops to pick up a wallet a stranger has dropped, he doesn't think he'll end up at an opera house. And there the majestic music, the haunting words, and the splendid vocalists compel the young man to look at his life and face the truth he's been trying to escape.

*Stephen Mitchell's Journey * Farmer Mitchell's rheumatism keeps him from taking their produce to sell, so he sends his son, Stephen, in his place. No one ever expects Stephen to meet the greatest challenge of his life, starting him on a journey that will not only change his life but those of his family members, his neighbors, and the surrounding community. A wonderful story of a young man's search for enlightenment and purpose and of people helping people.
