Morning Glory by LaVyrle Spencer
In town, they called her ‘Crazy Widow Dinsmore.’ But Elly was no stranger to their ridicule–she had been an outsider all her life, growing up in a darkened house under the strict eye of her eccentric grandparents. Now she was all alone, with two little boys to raise, and a third child on the way. Will Parker drifted into Whitney, Georgia, one lazy summer afternoon, hoping to put his lonely past behind him. He yearned for the tenderness he had never known, a home he’d never had. All he needed was for someone to give him a chance. Then he saw her classified ad: WANTED–A HUSBAND. When he stepped across Elly Dinsmore’s cluttered yard, Will knew he had come home at last.
