Song of the Road

A poor, pregnant widow finds love and new hope when she fixes up her family’s roadside motel in this historical romance by a New York Times bestseller.

“[An] engaging Depression-era romance. . . . this sweet romance is a treat, buoyed by strong characters and Garlock's old-fashioned, no-nonsense storytelling.” —Publishers Weekly

By 1935, countless vehicles had traversed Route sixty-six, their hum creating a uniquely American song. Most were heading west—but roads go in two directions, and in Dorothy Garlock's riveting third novel featuring Route sixty-six, the fabled highway is one that leads home . . .

It's just a string of rundown cabins on a stretch of New Mexico highway. But returning to Cross Roads widowed, broke, and pregnant, Mary Lee Clawson knows her dad's motor court is a godsend. With steely resolve, she sets out to rebuild the failing business and discovers she has to fight more than foreclosure. There's her mother, Dolly—disinherited, angry, and whiskey-soaked—not to mention her disreputable friends. Still, Mary Lee wins champions: kind neighbors, a thirteen-year-old drifter who would die for her, and Jake Romero, a man with a past whose disarming green eyes awaken emotions she has never felt before.

Filled with new hope and braving new challenges, Mary Lee must trust her hear to claim what is hers on Route sixty-six.
