Grace Livingston Hill is presumably the author's name. Judging from the cover art, I have to assume that the main character, Dawn, is basically the author herself. If that girl doesn't look like a Grace Livingston Hill, I don't know who does.Dawn of the Morning ...also known as Dress of the Eighties. Shoulder pads and all. She's even wearing those tiny little pearls. Also, her hair looks kind of flat, and her roots are showing...
The blurb in the bottom right corner there (since the picture is too small to read it) says (I think):
Dawn has finally found the one man she can love, a man who seems to understand her deepest thoughts. A man who is her fiance's brother.
Yes, that is a comma splice followed by a fragment.
So...of the two men there, which is the fiance, and which is the brother? I think the fiance must be the turtleneck guy. Dawn looks like a turtleneck guy would be to slick for her. That darn smooth-talker. She seems more like she'd fall in love with the grandpa sweater and comb over type.
And where are they? It looks like they're on some sort of balcony. Is that a church in the background? And why is Dawn holding a dinner napkin? That is way too huge to be a handkerchief.
All I can say is, Dawn does not look like the heroine of a romance novel. She looks like my aunt in my mom's wedding pictures from the '80s.
Thanks again, JamiSings!

No problem. Though I suppose the dress is suppose to be 1940-ish since she died in 1947.
Here she is on Wikipedia.
Though I don't take Wikipedia 100% at their word. Since the public edit it a lot is always just opinion and not facts.
Ah, I see.
I frequently refer to Wikipedia as "The Source of All Knowledge", but I speak in jest. I usually believe it, but only when it comes to things that I don't need legit information on.
(Sidenote: did you know there isn't a Wikipedia entry for "gullible"? My friend told me and I refused to believe him, until I finally caved and looked. There really isn't. I was astonished.)
Found a new one for you.
I guess it's suppose to be a bit of modern day pulp. Too new for PS. I suppose JABBIC could make it a Mammary Monday but I'd rather see you do it.
"Dawn of the Morning" was written in 1911 and is actually set in the mid-1800s (it opens in 1824, when Dawn is about seven years old). I am embarrassed to know this.
