Reviewed by Anne Boling for Readers' Favorite

This latest book of Dorothy Garlock is set in the 1930’s and begins with 25-year-old Adrianna Moore grieving the death of her father. She discovers that her father’s attorney, Richard Pope, is taking over her father’s interests, including her. He wants to marry her A Week From Sunday, and he has already set the plans. Adrianna is so sickened by the thought of marrying the man that she escapes in her father‘s car.

With one destination in mind, Adrianna instead ends up in the small town called Lee’s Point, where she crashes into a truck driven by Quinn Baxter. To pay for damages and to get her car fixed, Adrianna becomes the newest member of a town by striking a bargain with Quinn, to play piano in his bar and to take care of his young brother, Jesse. Adrianna gets to know many other people, including Quinn’s housekeeper, Lola, who wants to be more than just the housekeeper and is willing to do whatever it takes to get what she wants, which is Quinn. We also get to know Quinn’s gentle friend, Gabe, and the town’s female doctor, Dr. Bordeaux. A few other characters show up as well, making for an interesting cast.

Then, Richard Pope comes to town, finding Adrianna and causing even more havoc. The drama keeps you going all the way to the end, where everything becomes right again. It is a definite read.

Dorothy Garlock is one of my favorite authos. Being from Mason City Iowa and also living in Clear Lake Iowa at one time, I started reading her books when one of them was published in the Mason City Globe Gazette. I now have all the books she has written and looking forward to her next book. I thoroughly enjoyed A Week From Sunday. She writed about times that I or my parents were very familiar with. Keep up the good work.

As always Ms. Garlock has written a book I couldn't put down. Your either love or hate her characters and this book was no different. I feel this was one of her best ever!

Garlock-reader

Reviewers who say this is a typical Garlock love story are right, it is. She did not use the landscape as much as usual in this story but I think it is still a worthwhile book for Garlock readers.
