"Exit Betty" by Grace Livingston Hill is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young woman named Betty, who finds herself in a distressing situation on the eve of her wedding. As she confronts the realities of a marriage she does not desire, she experiences a dramatic turn of events that sets her on a path of escape and self-discovery. The opening of the novel introduces Betty as she arrives at the church for her wedding, overwhelmed by the eyes of the crowd and the pressure of the moment. Just as the ceremony begins, she faints, revealing her inner turmoil and reluctance to marry Herbert, the man her stepmother has chosen for her. As chaos ensues at the altar, Betty's mind races with thoughts of fleeing from her family's expectations. After regaining consciousness, she finds herself in a vestry room, isolated from the crowd. Desperate to avoid her fate, she manages to escape into the night, where she encounters Jane Carson, a kind-hearted working girl who becomes her ally. This chance encounter sets the stage for an adventurous journey where Betty will redefine her identity and freedom outside the confines of her privileged yet stifling upbringing.
