When tragedy befalls the Graeme family, young Jennifer suddenly finds herself in the position of head of the house over her six younger brothers and sisters. When she overhears her relatives making plans to take over the family estate and split her family up, Jennifer decides it is time to act. They must run away!
Finally, hidden from prying relatives and strangers in a small cottage in the mountains, Jennifer and her family seem to be safe–until disaster strikes! One of the youngest children gets lost in the forest, and another falls dangerously ill. But, miraculously, in the midst of fear and despair, Jennifer finds the true source of strength–and an unexpected love.
Dunstan King arrives in the little mining town of Rocky Knob still in mourning for his beloved father. Grace Burton, daughter of the local minister, is eager to learn the mystery behind this young man who lives and works as a miner, but is so obviously a gentleman. As his life becomes more and more entwined with the minister’s family and the small mining community that they serve, he will need all his strength, courage, and faith to prove his worth to the mine, the men, and the minister’s daughter of Rocky Knob.
Join author and historian Sarah Brazytis as she leads you to the rocky hills of America’s mining country, to weave a tale of faith, friendship, and love in the rugged life of 19th century copper miners. With meticulous research and intricate historical detail, readers will be drawn into the Victorian age, where good triumphs over evil, and truth and right prevail.
Their race is royal. But will they remember?
When Hamish McGregor and his sisters are forced to leave their home in the highlands of Scotland, they prepare to join their uncle in faraway Texas. Before leaving, they make an agreement to always remember that ‘s rioghal mo dhream, my race is royal.
However, they soon discover that remembering is not easy. For Hamish, forgetting his heritage lands him in the middle of a desperate revolution as the Texians fight for independence.
Catriona, proud and responsible, has no patience for her brother’s shortcomings until she too needs grace. And Ealasaid, an invalid facing the hardships of frontier life, struggles to live up to a still more important title: daughter of the King of kings.
As fighting surrounds and comes between them, will the McGregors fall or will they turn to the King for victory? Will they remember their royalty as well as the sacrifice of the brave men at the Alamo?

In case you missed them, here are the blog posts from earlier this week:
Tuesday: Books about Traditions
Thursday: Books about the Arts
Clearly I need to read Grace Livingston Hill (I’ve only read 2 short stories of hers so far). Also Dunstan. 😆 The only book I read here was Hannah’s!
Katja, I think you would like her books! She was also a pastor’s daughter. 🙂
I need to read some more Grace Livingston Hill! Which ones do you recommend I start with?
Kate, I think you would like them! The Enchanted Barn, Not under the Law, A Daily Rate, In the Way, and Lone Point are some of my favorites. The first three are available on Libirivox and on Audible!
I have read Remember my Royalty and really enjoyed it! I need to read some by Grace Livingston Hill, apparently 😉
Anna, isn’t Remember My Royalty wonderful? You are more than welcome to read some Grace Livingston Hill books. 😀
Anna, I do think you will enjoy the Grace Livingston Hill books!
I was really hoping someone would do RMR for today’s category! It’s such a perfect fit. And Dunstan is the best!
Thank you for your kindness, Lydia! Dunstan is the best for sure. 🙂
Thank you for featuring RMR, Luba! I was excited to see it on your list. And Dunstan is such a great book!
Hannah, it was a pleasure to feature it. I loved the story of the three siblings and do plan to read it again sometime in the future. 🙂 It’s fun that we enjoy some of the same books! Thank you for stopping by my blog. 🙂
Such fun to see Dunstan and Remember My Royalty on your list! I haven’t read any books by Grace Livingston Hill yet, but all three of these sound good. I’m enjoying your recommendations!
Thank you for your kind comments, Bethany! I think you would enjoy those books. 🙂
I’ve actually read both those GLH books! And I really like Dunstan as well! It’s been a number of years since I read A Sevenfold Trouble. I really need to read it again. Thanks for a lovely list of books. I would have read RMR, but I just don’t enjoy stories about the Alamo, the Titanic, or Pearl Harbor. I’m sure it’s very good though!
How can anyone not like Dunstan?! The Sevenfold Trouble is most definitely worth a re-read. 🙂 It was my pleasure to provide the lists. I also don’t enjoy stories about certain subjects.
