MY LATEST NOVEL: My Dear MISS DUPRÉ from Bethany House Publishers is NOW AVAILABLE!!!
This is a dream come true and I want to thank you for celebrating with me! When I was a young girl of twelve, I would go to the library and scan the spines of books in the fiction section, selecting books solely because of the Bethany House logo, for I knew any book by that house would be a clean, romantic read, until I had read every historical fiction work by BHP I could find in that library. Today, you hold in your hands a dream of a young girl that was sparked in a library.

What reviewers are saying:
“Sparkling with vivacious energy, this romance launches Hitchcock’s American Royalty series. Here nineteenth-century etiquette brings propriety to the entanglements of wooing and winning in love, and the theme of individual integrity underscores the charades of an enchanting cast of contestants. Fans of the TV’s The Bachelorette will adore this historical spin on competitive courtship that features all of the glitz, glamour, and drama that the Gilded Age brought to New York City’s elite.” BOOKLIST
“Delightfully original! Set during the glittering Gilded Age, My Dear Miss Dupré is a captivating story that will charm readers from the first page until the last. Grace Hitchcock is a writer to watch!”
–JEN TURANO, USA Today Bestselling Author
