Story Synopsis Dawn of the Morning by Grace Livingston Hill: “Like two others of Mrs. Lutz's successful stories, “Marcia Schuyler” and “Phoebe Deane,” this novel is set in New York State about 1826—quaint old days of poke bonnets and full skirts. Fresh from school, at the age of sixteen, dreading to return to the unhappy home she has left, and ignorant of all it implies, Dawn consents to marry a friend of her father's whom she has only met. Just before the wedding it develops that this man already has a wife and two children. His younger brother, Charles, who has seen Dawn and fallen in love with her, offers to take the intended bridegroom's place, and it is agreed that he do so. Fearing that Dawn will not accept the substitution, her stepmother, who is anxious to get rid of her, so arranges that Dawn does not know that she had not been married to the right man until she reaches her new home after the ceremony.”
