Book Description

Publication Date: August 1, 1991 | Series: Janet Dailey Americana

Sometimes it can be like that between two people, Rob said calmly. Cathie's eyes glittered with anger as she studied the man standing so arrogantly over her Rob Douglas, new owner of the home so precious to her. After turning her world upside down and making all her firmly-held beliefs vanish with one fiery kiss, he acted as if it was the most natural thing in the world. She mustn't let herself fall in love with him. Join Janet Dailey as she takes you on a romantic journey through every state in the Union. Read the stirring romances that set America's beloved storyteller on the highway to success. Your tour of desire begins with this story set in Iowa.

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful tale, July 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Homeplace (Thorndike Core) (Hardcover)

The homeplace is a book that simply takes you into another world, a world of love for the land and love between the two main characters - Cathie, a schoolteacher, who's family owned the farm once, and Rob, the city newcomer who bought the farm. It's so easy to sympathize with Cathie's feelings about the rude city slicker who came into her life and turned them upside down with his laughing remarks about her upcoming marriage, and with his fiery kisses. On the other hand it's also easy to sympathize with Rob, who only recently got reunited with the son he hasn't seen since Tad was 1 year old, and moved into the farm in order to try and give his son a chance for a real life. The homeplace is a story based on reality. At the end of the book Dailey tells of her experience as a child living in a farm owned by her great-grandmother. She managed to put all the love she felt for the land into Cathie's words and thoughts. It is a book that's easy to love. It makes you feel for the characters, and participate in what thet're going through.

This review is from: The Homeplace (Janet Dailey Americana - Iowa, Book 15) (Mass Market Paperback)

A nice, easy reading little book describing some of

better things about Middle America and the Farm Belt.

Too bad the folks on both coasts can't have the "good"

life. It's quite obvious that Janet Dailey knew her

subject and loved it as well.
