From the Inside Flap
Glory Flowers fell in love with Quaid Matthews when she was seven years old. A part of her heart went to Galveston with him just after the second grade when he left southern Oklahoma.
Twenty years later he returns home for his grandmother's funeral. He decides to stay in Terral, a little southern Oklahoma town right on the Red River and the Chisholm Trail, to research a new line of restaurants to be located as close to the Trail as possible.
During his stay he moves the WM Corporation travel trailer right on the property next to Glory's land - and the struggle begins. She wants his land to enlarge her property. He wants her land to make a parking lot for his new restaurant. When he tries to cut down the beautiful row of rose bushes separating their property, the battle begins.
They both realize they've fallen desperately in love yet they're not sure if they can trust each other. It takes a lot of courage, some reassurance and many roses to confirm their love.

The Yard Rose,
By Amy (Davis, OK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Yard Rose : An Avalon Romance (Hardcover)
This author loves to write about small Oklahoma towns! This book is set in Terral, Oklahoma. I lived there as a young child...it looked exactly like she describes it! Glory and Quaid's love story is a powerful one! I felt like I was right there--I laughed. I cried! I got angry! How dare that Rachel even look at Glory's Quaid! I love a book that starts with action and holds my interest. I want to FEEL the characters emotions, not be told them. When I finish a book I want to care about the characters. The Yard Rose is such a book! Wish there was a sequel...

By "leshaniece" (Oklahoma) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Yard Rose : An Avalon Romance (Hardcover)
The roots of Glory and Quaid's blossoming love in "The Yard Rose" by Carolyn Brown run deep. Their tumultutous twister of a relationship has the reader captivated from the first fight over the flowers. I highly recommend all of Carolyn Brown's books.

The Yard Rose,
By Lisa (Georgia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Yard Rose : An Avalon Romance (Hardcover)
Who can ever forget that first love, even at seven years old? Glory Flowers sure didn't. She never forgot the episode with the flowers or anything. Even at seven love can be agonizing and when you grow older, miserable, but it is there and never fades. Glory and Quaid were meant to be together. But separations and many winded arguments kept them apart. When they are finally able to get together, they finally see that they indeed were meant to be together. When disaster strikes, causing Glory to lose her most valuable possession that has reminded her of Quaid all these years, she soon discovers that she really hasn't lost but found the one person that she wants to live with for the rest of her life, her one true love. The Yard Rose is a tender love story, yet strong. I cried, I laughed, I grabbed tissues. I loved this book. Ms Brown has a way of writing that puts you right there inside the book with the characters. There were times I wanted to knock Rachel to the other side of the world, with Milly right along with her. The Yard Rose is a book that deserves ten stars plus and two thumbs up. If you haven't read this book, you really should read it. You will not be disappointed!!!! I have read it twice and still love it!
