A New Name (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. A Classic Christian Romance of Redemption, Mistaken Identity, and Moral TransformationBy Grace Livingston Hill
Length9h 21m
About this audiobook
A New Name is a characteristic Grace Livingston Hill novel of moral awakening, combining romance, domestic realism, and evangelical allegory. Its plot turns on the possibility of remaking the self: social reputation, inherited privilege, and youthful error are tested against conscience, providence, and Christian love. Written in Hill's lucid, sentimental, and highly readable style, the book belongs to the early twentieth-century tradition of American inspirational fiction, where courtship becomes a proving ground for spiritual integrity and a "new name" signifies inward regeneration. Grace Livingston Hill (1865–1947) was one of the most influential writers of Protestant popular fiction in America. The daughter of a Presbyterian minister and a mother who also wrote, Hill inherited both a strong theological imagination and a practical command of narrative. Widowed and often writing to support her family, she shaped fiction that joined entertainment with moral instruction, drawing on the religious culture, social anxieties, and gender ideals of her time. This novel is recommended for readers interested in Christian romance, women's popular fiction, and the history of American evangelical culture. It offers not merely a love story, but a study of character under grace.
