There's a theme to this book where the hero falls in love with the "mother/woman" that was both lovely and unexpected. ![]() She places an ad on the newspaper seeking a husband and he answers. She has land, two children and is pregnant with no man. He is drifting around the country looking for work, but he has a record and times are tough. In Morning Glory the male protagonist, an ex-con and murderer, falls in love with a widow who has two children and is pregnant. Morning Glory is set in Georgia during WW-II and Years in North Dakota during WW-I. There's no such thing as an underdeveloped thread in a Lavyrle Spencer book, or a two-dimensional character, although I did find a few stereotypical ones along the way.īoth books are Historical Romance/Americana. What I'm finding is that this author excels at both writing a story and at character development - and I mean central and secondary characters. After reading and loving The Endearment, last week I decided to read two other Lavyrle Spencer books, Morning Glory and Years. I was not disappointed, they were both gorgeous books. ![]()
