“Garlock is a master.”


Booklist

“A gifted writer.”


Chicago Sun-Times

“One of America’s most endearing historical fiction authors.”


RT Book Reviews

Come a Little Closer

“Few authors capture the atmosphere and voices of the heartland during the mid-twentieth century like Garlock. She completes her Tucker family trilogy with a tender, realistic look at small-town America after WWII and what war can do to those who fought and those who waited at home. Crisp prose and simple words cannot hide the powerful underlying lessons of loss, friendship, brotherly love, family ties, and the simple acts of kindness that bind a community.”


RT Book Reviews

“Another winner for Dorothy Garlock…a wonderful romance.”

—BestsellersWorld.com

“This delightful post WWII thriller stars a strong small-town cast struggling to move past the war. The tenuous relationships between Tyler, Holden, and Christina make the tale fun to read while Dorothy Garlock paints a vivid backdrop of 1946 Wisconsin.”

—GenreGoRoundReviews.blogspot.com

Keep a Little Secret

“Garlock is a master at developing characters through their actions and evoking settings so real they transport the reader back in time…All the elements that keep Garlock’s fans coming back for more are here.”


Booklist

“Four stars…[Garlock] takes readers back in time with her simple prose and likable characters, making them able to believe they are witnesses to the story. Not only is Garlock a premier Americana writer, but she is one who touches chords in readers’ hearts.”


RT Book Reviews

—GenreGoRoundReviews.com

“Excellent…enjoyable and compelling…eminently readable…engaging characters, romance, suspense, and small-town America in an era gone by.”

—TheRomanceReadersConnection.com

Stay a Little Longer

“Heartwarming…love blooms.”


Publishers Weekly

“Touching… [a] poignant, engrossing story of life, death, and second chances…Well written and swiftly paced, this story brings to life a time period that is seldom used in romance.”


Library Journal

“An emotional…profound Americana tale [with a] strong ensemble cast…fans will relish this terrific historical.”

—GenreGoRoundReviews.com

“Garlock is so familiar with her time period that she makes writing it look easy. Her attention to detail is astounding, and she does an incredible job of putting you in both time and place.”
