The Strange Proposal
by Grace Livingston Hill
As the best man in a wedding, John Saxon first saw—and fell in love with—Mary Elizabeth Wainwright as she preceded the bride down the aisle. When he returns home, John pours his adoration for Mary Elizabeth into a letter and asks her to marry him. Mary Elizabeth is not the woman John assumes her to be. She is from great wealth and privilege beyond John's reach as a student of medicine who has to make his own way in the world. Though there is obviously attraction on both their parts it will take a miracle to bring them together on worldviews and faith.
