| Summary | "The City of Fire" by Grace Livingston Hill is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a quaint, idyllic setting, focusing on the character of Billy Gaston, a fourteen-year-old boy residing in the picturesque community of Sabbath Valley. The narrative intricately weaves themes of adventure, intrigue, and the moral dilemmas that arise when Billy becomes embroiled in a plot involving kidnapping and deception. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Billy as he waits at the Pleasant View train station, contemplating the beauty of his surroundings and the upcoming baseball game he is eager to attend. However, his day takes an unexpected turn when he overhears a conversation between a freight agent and an unidentified man discussing a kidnapping. Intrigued and sensing an opportunity, Billy decides to engage with the freight agent, further entangling himself in a shady scheme that raises questions about loyalty and ethics. As he navigates this dangerous scenario, the contrast between the innocence of his youth in Sabbath Valley and the darker undercurrents of adult ambition and crime becomes apparent, setting the stage for a compelling adventure.
