Now what would they do?
They couldn't go home, not with the cops sitting on their steps waiting for them. They needed a place to hide-- a good place, for it might be for a long, long time.
Zach looked around the big, clean, carpeted room. It was much nicer than home. Why couldn’t they hide out here? Besides, no one would ever think of looking for them in a church!

Abandoned by their mother, the Fleming kids run out of food and steal from the corner grocery store. To avoid being caught by the owner, they hop on a Sunday school bus. Whisked off to church, they discover the perfect place to hide.

When I was two years old and traveling on a train to California with my parents, I entertained the passengers with my made-up stories. I've been telling stories ever since.

My first published book was The Hideout whose plot was hatched when I was twelve years old and sitting in Sunday school imagining what it would be like to live in a church. Not until the first year I was married did I finally write it. It was published by Moody Press in 1983. I have revised, updated, and re-published it.

Susanna of Beaver Lodge is a Christmas story from 1939 taken from the life of my mother and her sisters growing up in a wonderful country home called Beaver Lodge with wrap-around porches upstairs and down.

My adult Christian historical novel, The Chautauqua Belles, takes place at the Chautauqua Institution. As I walked the tree-lined streets with charming gingerbread-trimmed cottages, or as I read on the veranda of the stately Hotel Athenaeum, I would imagine ladies with their long skirts and parasols. I have tried to make that era come alive. The title comes from a steamboat that today plies the waters of Chautauqua Lake, The Chautauqua Belle.

Real Places Brought to Life is what I write about. Most of these places you can visit too. For more information check out my website at www.bethlivingston.net where you will also see lots of pictures.

I grew up in Lewiston, New York and lived in the Buffalo area until recently when my husband and I retired to Dublin, Ohio to be near grandchildren.

Graduating from Wheaton College in 1974 with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education, I received my Master's Degree in Library Science in 1975 from the University of Illinois. For five years I was the school librarian in Geneva, Illinois and thirteen years at West Seneca Christian School in West Seneca, New York.

I have two grown children and two grandchildren.

Besides writing, I enjoy cooking, quilting, reading, and selling fabric online. I teach a ladies' Sunday school class, a Wednesday night kids' club, and VBS.

I purchased The Hideout for my 7 year old grand-daughter who is an excellent reader. She absolutely loved it. She would read one chapter to me and then I would read a chapter to her. She even stopped between chapters to exclaim, "This is a really good story! The Hideout kept her interest and she obviously enjoyed it very much as did I. I look forward to reading more of Beth Livingston's books with my grandchildren as well as reading her novels for adult readers.

Thank you Beth Livingston for a great short story...I am a foster parent and have seen some bad situations families have to go thru. The best part of the story is the family found God and sought answers.

I actually bought this book for my Grandsons but I wanted to be sure it was something that would hold their interest so I decided to read it first. Once I started I couldn't put it down! Even as adults we don't always make good decisions but God has a way of working it all out for our good as shown in this captivating story.
