Love Finds You In Groom, Texas (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
Three sisters travel on a train from Colorado to Texas in 1914. They have just become orphans; their only living relative is mean Uncle Bertrand in Dallas. Anne is 19, and Emily and Kate are ten and seven, respectively. Their train stops suddenly in Groom, Texas, due to a derailment and track damage. Since it will take more than a week to repair the tracks, they are forced to stay in the community of Groom. Anne and her sisters end up at the O’Farrell Ranch; Jake O’Farrell is the last available man in Groom. His five brothers are all married; Jake lives with his mother and helps on the ranch. The whole town schemes to bring Anne and Jake together, while creative genius Emily keeps everyone entertained with her writing and her lively personality. This inspirational story of a close family living on a ranch in a small town will make one yearn to have lived in Groom, Texas. Another book in the “Love Finds You in….” series is on the bookshelves. Janice Hanna’s (Thompson) “Love Finds You in Groom, Texas” hit the bookshelves earlier this month. Set in the early 1900’s, “Love Finds You…” has characters you will enjoy getting to know, and probably one or two to whom you can relate. There is the spunky heroine, Annie, who is always determined to make the best of any situation. Jake is our charismatic hero, the kind of guy every momma hopes her daughter will meet. Speaking of mommas, Jake’s momma, Maggie, is the “momma” to the residents of Groom, Texas, cook extraordinaire and she takes in strays – humans and pets. And that’s how Annie and her sisters end up staying at O’Farrell’s Honor, the family’s ranch. Annie has two sisters, precocious, aspiring writer, Emily, and quiet, shy Kate. Janice Hanna has once again written a delightful, light romance. Love Finds You in Groom, Tx is the book to take poolside or patio with a tall glass of lemonade for an afternoon of entertaining reading.
