Summary
Summary
The rider slid his rifle in the scabbard attached to the saddle and tilted his hat back. She could picture him on the front of a dime Western novel: horse rearing, guns blazing. Kathleen thanked him for his help. She had run right into a hijackers set-up on this lonely stretch of Oklahoma highway, and if he hadn't run them off she would have been left stranded -- or worse. He smiled, and she got in the car, waved and drove away. Johnny Henry chuckled. Not many women set out to drive two hundred miles across country in 1938. She had spunk to go along with that red hair. Suddenly, his heart was galloping like a runaway horse...

Library Journal Review
This is the third novel in Garlock's wonderful Great Depression series set in Oklahoma in 1938. Kathleen Dolan is on her way to take a job as a newspaper reporter in Rawlings, OK, when she is waylaid by hijackers bent on stealing her car and taking her money and property. She is rescued in the nick of time by a handsome cowboy named Johnny, and she makes it to the Gazette office to find the editor out cold on the floor with a large bump on her head. There is an old scandal that is still having its effects, a dead body, a grave with no corpse, a very strange, pushy nurse, and Johnny is a great deal more than he seems at first. Daring Kathleen has to stay alive in order to find romance with Johnny. Kate Forbes continues her wonderful narration, which she began with With Hope. A fun way to while away a long afternoon; enthusiastically recommended for all public libraries.ÄBarbara Perkins, Irving P.L., TX (c) Copyright 2010.
