Morning Glory by LaVerle Spencer,
By
This review is from: Morning Glory (Paperback)
This book is one of my favourites. A beautiful story and wonderfully written. After reading this story, I was hooked and have read everything by this author. I am just so sorry that she has retired and writes no more. Enjoy!

Not just another romance story,
By High-Tech Mom (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Morning Glory (Paperback)
I'm too young to remember the era this book is set in, but the characters have stayed with me long after I put it down. My neighbor loans me (from her vast collection) probably 2 romance novels a month, but this one I can't seem to forget, so I'm buying myself a copy even though I've already read it.

Morning Glory, by LaVyrle Spencer,
By Mellanie C. (Ft. Stewart, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Morning Glory (Paperback)
MORNING GLORY is set in the 1940s and is the story of "Crazy" Elly Dinsmore, raised by religious fanatics and teased and tormented by everyone in town; and Will Parker, an ex-con trying to put his life back together. Elly is a young, pregnant widow who, when she finds she can't make ends meet, puts an ad for a husband in the local paper. Will sees the ad and applies for the job. As Will begins making repairs and improvements to Elly's property, their attraction to each other grows. World War Two intervenes, and Will is called up for service, but he and Elly write to each other frequently, and manage a visit when Will has leave.Shortly after Will comes home from the war, he is accused of murdering the local floozy, and Elly must overcome her personal demons in order to help with Will's trial. How the two misfits find each other and their place in their community is a deeply engrossing story. Spencer excels at emotional writing, and in this book, she outdoes herself with her secondary characters, especially Gladys Beasley, the town librarian, who strikes up an incongruous friendship with Will. This book has everything: romance, humor, pathos, mystery, and history. This is my personal favorite of LaVyrle's books, and it has held up to several repeat readings.
