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 loved this story of Claire…a strong woman that knew what she wanted in life. Things go on a different track for Claire and plans change….she is resilient and finds true love! This story had a few twists…but love how beautifully this story was written.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. In fact as I was nearing the end I tried to read slower because I didn't want it to be finished. The author does such a magnificent job of describing her characters and locations that it all comes to life. I especially like the fact that many of the places are real, especially the mansion. The plot is totally enjoyable, and it is so good to read a book that is written from the Christian perspective.

I enjoyed this story. I liked Claire's character, but at times, I didn't particularly like John's character. All of the people in this book were life-like. I definitely recommend this book mms

First time I’ve read a book by the author and look forward to reading more. A story of faith, hope and love. A story to remind us God is in control and cares for His children.

A beautiful story of seeing God work through all circumstances. A story of learning to trust God’s will in the midst of confusion. A story of redemption.

I really enjoyed this book. The quest for love. The dangers. The new loves
that sparked and flamed. Beth Livingston got my attention with this story and the need for Jesus first before tragedy strikes for you.

Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2021

Claire knew God wanted her to marry a preacher and help in his ministry. A week before they graduated from college her finance told her he didn't want to preach, he wanted to go back home and farm and marry a girl he loved there. A boy she had classes with offered to marry her, so she would have somewhere to go. She found a note on the school's bulletin board for a job offer as a tutor teaching a seven year old girl to read. She got the job and loved it and fell in love with the girl's uncle, who was keeping her. This boy came to see her and asked her to marry him again, what should she do? Marry this boy or hope the uncle would fall in love with her? Read this great story and see what all happens?
