This is a lovely, sentimental story about the Depression years. I think Ms. Garlock does a wonderful thing with this time period. We've all heard folks talk about the Depression, saying that they were poor, but since everyone else was in the same boat, people didn't really see themselves as impoverished.
The characters are charming - particularly the leads and Johnny. Garlock does another thing only experienced authors seem willing to chance - some of the 'bad' characters change.
Garlock captures that small town feel in this story and it is nice to look back at a simpler time with nostalgia (even if it was the Depression years). She also makes a point of showing the downside of a small town - everyone knows everyone else's business.
The story starts with twin tragedies; we are introduced to Henry Ann's mother - a floozy and a `good time girl' who has abandoned her husband and daughter. Mom blows into town to demand some money from her husband and move on with her next `boyfriend.' By the tone of the questions Henry Ann asks her mother, we can see that she is level-headed and understands things far beyond her years.
The story jumps forward several years and we learn that Henry Ann's father is dying. Mr. Henry has been the rock upon which Henry Ann has built her life. We wonder how she will cope.
This is a pleasant story; the reason I didn't score it higher was that it was perfectly obvious where things were going. At times, it looked like it took a bit too long to get there.
