Description: Lovely and kind, Henry Ann Henry is a young woman whose emotional strength is put to the test when her beloved father dies unexpectedly, leaving Henry Ann to run the farm and cope with a difficult half-sister. Many of her neighboring farmers are struggling to deal with a serious drought and the depression, including handsome Tom Dolan. Tom has more trouble than dry acres however, for his mentally unstable wife is swiftly losing her hold on reality, a fact that endangers both Tom and their small son. Henry Ann's need of a farmhand throws the lovely young woman and the lonely man together, but the obstacles that stand in the way of their happiness may keep the two from realizing their love. A wonderful story liberally salted with nostalgic details of American farm life in the 1930s, With Hope is Dorothy Garlock at her best.
Table of contents: title: Oklahoma, 1932: Trouble seemed to be rolling up like the dust on the dry yellow horizon beyond Henry Ann's farm. Her father was dead and her two rebellious half-siblings were now her responsibility. Then Tom Dolan, a new neighbor, came into her life bringing both a ray of hope and burdens of his own. But it would take a tragedy before they could fully love each other...an innocent Tom suspected of murder...and a staunch Henry Ann standing by his side. Yet despite the dark time ahead, Henry Ann and Tom knew they had found a treasure-a bright and shining future worth fighting for.
