Because the Fresh Fiction team is traveling the "Mother
Road" from Texas to California, this is a perfect book for
us and one of our favorites. Available in nook and Kindle.
By 1935, countless vehicles had traversed Route 66, their
hum creating a uniquely American song. Most were heading
west-but roads go in two directions, and in Dorothy
Garlock's riveting third novel featuring Route 66, the
fabled highway is one that leads home. SONG OF THE ROAD
It's just a string of rundown cabins on a stretch of New
Mexico highway. But returning to Cross Roads widowed,
broke, and pregnant, Mary Lee Clawson knows her dad's motor
court is a godsend. With steely resolve, she sets out to
rebuild the failing business and discovers she has to fight
more than foreclosure. There's her mother, Dolly--disinherited, angry, and
whiskey-soaked--not to mention her
disreputable friends. Still, Mary Lee wins champions: kind
neighbors, a thirteen-year-old drifter who would die for
her, and Jake Ramero, a man with a past whose disarming
green eyes awaken emotions she has never felt before. Filled with new hope and braving new challenges, Mary Lee
has to trust her heart to claim what is hers on Route 66.
