Sweet Dreams Drive (Harts Crossing, Book 4) [Hardcover]

Robin Lee Hatcher (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 2007

Al and Patti Bedford are the new parents of twins, which means they are severely sleep deprived, in debt to their ears, and feeling very stressed out. Like so many other young couples, Al and Patti have gotten in over their heads financially while pursuing the great American Dream and the good life. With the arrival of their twins and all the new responsibility that entails, the cracks that have been below the surface in their marriage start to come to light. Was this what they signed up for when they got married? Neither one of them is sure. Sweet Dreams Drive is a heartwarming story about learning and remembering what really matters in life--family, faith, and love.

From the Inside Flap

FRONT FLAP "What do you do in Nampa?" Al sat in the other chair. "I'm an editor at a small publishing house. I was hired part time while in college, and they offered me a full-time position after I graduated." "Do you like it?" "Yes." The way he watched her made her insides go all aflutter. She lowered her gaze to her hands. "Eric says you're a teacher. What subject?" "Everything. I teach sixth graders at the elementary school." His answer surprised her. For some reason, she'd expected him to say history or algebra or some other class taught at the high school level. She asked another question. He answered and asked his own. Patti shared about her mom's divorce when she was in middle school. Al shared about the recent death of his grandfather, a farmer like his dad. She shared about her move to Boise at the age of sixteen and how difficult it had been to feel comfortable with city life, though she loved it now. He shared how eager he'd been to finish college and get his teaching certificate so he could return to Hart's Crossing. She shared her love of books and the theater. He shared his passion for golf and basketball. She mentioned her cat. He told funny stories about his dog. And in the midst of it all, there came a moment when Patti knew that Al Bedford was destined to be part of her future. At least she hoped so with all her heart.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet Dreams Drive ~ Reviewed, June 1, 2007

This review is from: Sweet Dreams Drive (Harts Crossing, Book 4) (Hardcover)

This final novella in the Hart's Crossing series is as heartwarming as the first book was. Hatcher evoked some long forgotten emotions. Emotions from when I was like Patti--young and newly married and stressed out with the new baby. Patti and Al dance a hormonal waltz, until a purchase Patti makes brings it all to the surface.

Poignant and endearing, Sweet Dreams Drive is highly recommended. Each one of the Hart's Crossing books will touch your heart, and I'm sorry to see the series end. The series has four books: Legacy Lane, Veterans Way, Diamond Place and Sweet Dreams Drive. Be sure to get all four; you won't want to miss any of them. In fact, they'd make a terrific Christmas gift.
