BEWARE!!!  Do NOT visit small town Indiana.  You will meet your one true love in high school (who MUST be a football hero or could have been a football hero if only he hadn`t had to support his single mother)and then be separated for 15 - 20 years.  Please be advised that if you marry anyone OTHER than your high school sweetheart you are doomed to disappointment.This small town needs more people coming into it.  `For You` was an interesting concept.  High school sweethearts separate and reunite under difficult conditions.  `At Peace` (the second in the burg series) was excellent.  Here you have a new character (a strong female!) and her kids moving to town.  This makes for both a great plot and wonderful romance.`The Golden Trail`.... not so much.  It ends up being a bad version of `For You` without either a good plot or likeable heroine.  Rocky is too wimpy for words.  There is a reason for her to be traumatized, but to think none of this has been addressed for 20 years is ridiculous.  It turns out that the reason for the separation of our two lovebirds is just not believable.Having to have your future step-kids tend to your emotional well-being is a bit disconcerting.  One reviewer refers to Tanner`s two sons as the Hardy Boys and that is an incredibly apt description.  These two teen tornados are racing around town bustin` crime, babysittin` their dad`s girlfriend, and bein`football heroes.3 stars because Tanner is definitely likeable and there are interesting secondary characters. Other than that, meh......
