See all formats and editions

Thump. Bump. Crash. Something rolled in the kitchen below. Susanna was terrified. The drunk tramp who had rescued them from the blizzard was ruining Beaver Lodge. And Christmas was only one week away.

Prohibition whiskey is still in the cellar when Susanna's family moves into Beaver Lodge in 1939. Her plan to get rid of it as a Christmas surprise for her parents is spoiled by a blizzard, one-year-old twin sisters, and a tramp loose in the house.

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 live across the road from this house. It really brought back a lot of memories. Don't walk on the tracks because of the bums. The barn had a horse drawn wagon, the house was remarkable....beautiful inside.

Wonderful Christian reading.

This book may be written for a younger audience, but I can tell you this old lady really enjoyed it. A really good story, interesting characters, good plot, PLUS a Biblical lesson and the plan of salvation. Could you possibly ask for anything more? I highly recommend it for all your young readers, and personally can't wait for the next one.

~~ WAY too scary for young children! ~~

Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2020

Verified Purchase

It's 1939. Always a scaredy car, Susanna's fears increase when she and her sister are pursued by a tramp on the way home. Mama invites him and shows him Christian love. Beaver Lodge is the family's new home. The previous owner used to make whiskey. Alas there are many, many bottles still down in the cellar. Dad says he doesn't have time to move it before Christmas so Susanna decides that that will be her Christmas present to her parents. Will the snow and/or the tramp slow her down or prevent her from succeeding?

Whilst I enjoyed this story as an adult and it does have a great ending I will not be passing it on to our younger children to read. (The recommended age on Amazon listing at time of writing this review is 8-10 years.) There are some truly scary parts in it where the tramp gets downright nasty/drunk. Could give younger children nightmares. I downloaded this book onto my Kindle. I was not required to write a review but chose to do so. Thanks, Liz

This story took me back to my favorite childhood Christmas stories about old-fashioned, snowy Christmases. It is a sweet story of a young girl who learns to put her trust in God in a practical way, and learns the mercy of forgiveness through her parents’ courageous acts.

A realistic historical story set in the great depression. It tells the story from a child's view point and share her fears, but also her love for her family. God's love and forgiveness is also shared.
