hope's highway - dorothy garlock


Road 66- highway to California, back in the 1920’s… attracted loads of attention. Everybody wanted to find gold, money, fame. Others just wanted another chance, a better life.
3 different families undertake on this journey, with trucks, caravans… camping along the way. Pretty, serious, neglected Margie, going to Hollywood to find fame, which offered her a way out of nowhere, meets brady, the tall dark handsome chap… who’s just witnessed his brother blowing his brains out after killing his wife and her lover. Sparks fly…despite both having sworn off each other for the sake of their own lives and goals.
There's rusty, the blind kid, who sings beautifully, the sister and brother, mona and jody, having to tolerate their father marrying a ‘loose’ charactered woman after their mom passes away, margies horrible father who does nothing to acknowledge her, only put her down.

Interesting story about how they mix and match up to each other on the trip, and of course, romance as well.
