Morning Glory » (Reprint)

Bestselling author LaVyrle Spencer tells the heartwarming story of an unlikely romance in a sleepy Georgia town in the 1940s. Elly Dinsmore is a young widow, shy and considered eccentric by her neighbors. Will Parker is an ex-con drifting through town who has been betrayed by everyone he ever cared for. They are drawn together when Elly places an ad in the newspaper, and friendship-and romance-blossom. But when Will is accused of a crime, they must fight to save the only happiness each has ever known. A wonderful love story from the author of Vows and The Gamble.
