With Hope

A spinster faces hardship and murder in the Oklahoma Dust Bowl in this suspenseful historical romance by a New York Times–bestselling author.

"This is a beautiful love story, a good choice for people who do not read romances." —Library Journal

"The well-drawn 1930s rural Oklahoma setting contributes to the believability of this satisfyingly warm romance. Readers who enjoyed LaVyrle Spencer's Morning Glory . . .should find this particularly enticing." —Booklist

Oklahoma, 1932: Trouble seems to be rolling up like the dust on the dry yellow horizon beyond Henry Ann's farm. Her father is dead, and her two rebellious half-siblings are now her responsibility. Then Tom Dolan, a new neighbor, comes into her life bringing both a ray of hope and burdens of his own. Before they can fully love each other, tragedy strikes. Tom is suspected of murder . . .and a staunch Henry Ann must stand by his side. Yet despite the dark times ahead, Henry Ann and Tom know they have found a treasure—a bright and shining future worth fighting for.

"The bestselling author . . .tackles Depression-era Oklahoma with wit, freshness and memorable characterization. . . . An old-fashioned storyteller, Garlock creates people and places with a tart honesty reminiscent of a more adult version of the "Anne of Green Gables" series." —Publishers Weekly
