Morning Glory / LaVyrle Spencer 179 p.


Widow Elly Dinsmore and Will Parker are living through hard times when he answers her ad for a husband.  Elly is poor and pregnant and barely scratching out a living on a tumbled down farm, while Will gets bounced out of jobs as his ex-con past catches up with him.  This chance meeting, born out of desperation, leads them both to a surprising love—strong enough to endure the war and a terrible crime.

Appeal: character-driven, amusing, bittersweet, heartwarming, moving, conversational.
