Morning Glory

I find it hard to put into words just how good this story is. I was hooked from page one. Even as different as the two main characters are, they come together to fight against a cruel town. You will find yourself drawn into their struggle for acceptance and a chance to be part of the American Dream

I think that this is by far LaVyrle Spencer's best book. The story is wonderful and it touches everyone. Elly and Will are misfits that find joy with each other. When Will is accused of a terrible crime, you have to see if Elly and Will's love for each other is strong enough for them to overcome it. Everyone can relate to the characters. Elly is known as "Crazy Elly Dinsmore" and she was always teased as a child. The reader might see themself because they were a child that was teased or they might remember the Elly Dinsmore's that they knew. This book is exceptionally well written and longer than some of Spencer's other books, which is a definite plus. This is a novel that you would definitly want to have a sequel. Read it and find yourself. You won't be disappointed.

Sweet, satisfying, with complex characters and a well-constructed plot, this is my favorite modern romance novel. Both hero and heroine undergo vital transformations as their relationship deepens, and in the process they affect those around them. An excellent story of redemption and healing.

Morning Glory is a book I read, loved, but put off reading for the second time. I was afraid some of the magic would go out of a re-read. I was wrong. This is a book I will never grow tired of. Elly and Will are so good for each other. Each made the other shine. Truly a book to treasure for a lifetime.
