- American author Grace Lutz was born Grace Livingston in Wellsville, NY, in 1865. She came from a family of Presbyterian ministers (her father and seven of her uncles) and her mother was a writer for a variety of religious magazines. She was educated at home until she reached college age, at which time she attended the Cincinnati Art School and Elmira College. After leaving college, however, she decided against embarking on a career in art and began writing. In 1892 she married a Presbyterian minister, Rev. Thomas Franklin Hill, and they had two children. However, he died in 1899 and, with two children to support, she turned to writing full-time. Given her background, it was no surprise that the main subject of her writing was religion--she wrote syndicated columns in religious magazines and also turned out a stream of novels with religious themes, averaging about three books a year. She later married again, to Flavius J. Lutz, but did not give up her career as a writer. Her novels were very popular in her field (although one critic dismissed them as "sugar-coated tracts") and she has sold upwards of 3,000,000 copies of her books. She died in Swarthmore, PA, in 1947.
