5.0 out of 5 stars Marvelous., October 28, 2005

Recently most of the historical romance novels published have a serious problem -- they feel contemporary! Although the stories draw around a historical theme, the setting is never truly felt! This is not a problem with the 1995 Dorothy Garlock classic YESTERDAY; here the reader arrives, lingers, and never leaves the historical setting. Ms. Garlock smoothly shows off her characteristic, wonderful talent -- her wonderful talent to cast a setting and her extraordinary ability to write romance.

Her husband was dead, but the news did not produce one moment of shattering grief for Addie Hyde. Her love for Confederate, soldier Kirby Hyde was long gone -- she didn't have time to recall the man who went away and left her -- alone and pregnant. Now Kirby Hyde was but a fleeting memory and the love she once felt for him -- dead! In any case, Addie was far too busy to grieve; she had other important things on her mind - her small-assorted family -- her dear family that embodied three children and one very dear friend. No Addie Hyde was far too busy to grieve over the man who had seduced her, then reluctantly married her, and finally left her . . .

John Tallman was in Freepoint, Arkansas on his way west to New Mexico Territory. The unexpected sight of Addie Hyde staggered him. For the first time in his life, John Tallman's feelings stunned him. Addie stunned him. Her fiery character, her bright mind, her intense spirit stunned him. But more important, his desire stunned him. John Tallman needed Addie Hyde -- he needed her to be his wife, his lover, his friend.

John Tallman is a reading HERO - in every sense of the word, Dorothy Garlock successfully delivers John Tallman into her reader's mind as a 'man's man'. Rest a sure, this 'man's man' will not let Addie Hyde nor her children down! Calmly, Garlock's brings her reader into her macho web of brilliance and the reward: reading bliss. YESTERYEAR is a great book -- from its setting -- to its lead characters -- to its splendid secondary cast -- unquestionably, Dorothy Garlock delivers a dazzling story!
Grade: A+

This is one of my favorite Garlock books. At times I laughed so hard I had tears running down my face. For anyone that has read Dream River this is a must!
