Summary: A really good book!
Comment: Wonderful, wonderful! I agree! LaVyrle Spencer is one of my favorite authors. Her books are about everyday people- lives that touch you. There are times you cry for the characters and times you laugh at them. I enjoy that they are in different settings and times. This particular book is during the early 1900's when automobiles have just come out. Through this story the reader really gets a glimpse of what women went through in the earlier years before women's rights. Roberta Jewitt has had enough of her "playboy husband" who came around when he needed money or a place to stay. After several years of marriage she has filed for divorce and brought her 3 girls back home to renew her relationship with her family. Divorce was not an accepted thing back then especially when instigated by the woman. The townspeople look at her like she is diseased, her mother and sister are furious at the disgrace she has caused them, men think she is "fair game" for their pre-marital affairs (especially her brother-in-law who won't take no for an answere), etc. But she always had her daughters' love and respect.
Gabe Farley is a handy-man around town who is a widow of several years with a teenage daughter. He has made a good life for the 2 of them but he is lonely, still hanging onto the love of his dear deceased wife. Recognizing that fact that Roberta needs his help to get the house she has purchased presentable for her and the girls to live in to- makes a deal to get it in shape. While he is there everyday, he is given a chance to get to know Roberta for who she really is instead of listening to gossip. He comes to appreciate the time they spend together- realizing the void he has had in his life up to now. But what will people say he's seeing a "divorced woman"? It is a story of strong family ties and values, and the sweetest of love stories.

Summary: That Campy Summer
Comment: I did not like this book at all. True, I didn't read the whole thing; I didn't need to. I read the first part and skimmed the rest. Basically this book was about a woman named Roberta Jewett who is scorned for having gotten a divorce. And of course the reader is supposed to feel sorry for her, when I found it utterly impossible to even care. Then there is the wonderful Gabe, who is hired to paint her house or something (been so long since I read this). And their romance seemed so cliche that it is a wonder that house painters, etc. don't have a bad reputation. As for Roberta's brother-in-law, he was a worthless waste of ink. Why did he need to be put in this book? He was just a way of adding rape into the plot, and I suppose Spencer was trying to drag out whatever ounce of sympathy we could possibly have for such a loathsome character as Roberta. I suppose some people found him to be well-developed, but he really wasn't. He was just some demonized villain, which I absolutely abhor when reading novels. I want to read about characters who have depth, and Elfred really didn't. Just downright awful. The situations were silly, sometimes sickening, but on the whole, completely stupid. I was so disgusted. One of the only times I ripped up a book.

Summary: Loose yourself in this book
Comment: This is a great book! I read it in 2 days. It kept me interested from the beginning till the end. It's another great story of Spencer's about life, love & much more.
