Known as the Crazy Widow Dinsmore, Elly is no stranger to ridicule. She had been an outsider all her life, growing up in a boarded-up old house under the strict eye of her eccentric grandparents. Now alone with two little boys to raise and a third on the way, Elly puts an ad in the newspaper advertising for a husband. Since being released from prison, drifter, Will Parker, drifts into Whitney, Georgia, one afternoon in the summer of 1941, hoping to put his lonely past behind him. When Will sees Elly he knows he has come home at last.. Pure passion, beautiful, old-fashioned love story.
