Absolutely a great read. I hope the other authors stories are as good a read as this one. I think it is one of your best. It held my interest all the way through.
An avid reader of quality stories
A very good story and excellent read AND a happy ending, too. Really enjoyed this one.

You did it again
I have only one complaint. It was too short. But maybe that's another story.

Great story
Very emotional story. I am an old Kentuckian and I don't get too emotional. But this story touched my heart.

I really liked "the sweet and sassy" young Rose.
You did a great job of defining the characters and making them interesting.
I'm always a sucker for a great romance.
Nice job, DG

of the 3-4
i've read, DG, yours was the most uplifting, with the least vulgarity
(yours was the only one, if i remember correctly, where the hero did not have sex with Rose, I believe)
it also was the one that ended with the most hope: for grandpa and Rosie, who was only a few years younger than he, when they first met when her mother, Rose, took the lanky and hungry young man in and taught him self-respect and trust, in a whore house!!!
DG,
Once again you have produced a well written story that strikes a chord with all, especially those who have country roots. I now live in the state where my Dad was raised, 2100 miles form where I grew up. So yes, this one hits close again. Thanks for another winner.
Thanks DG for an exceptionally well-written story - one of your best. It really had me hooked all the way through. This one pulled hard at the heartstrings of this 'old man'! Really the kind of happy ending I look for and love. I hope the other authors' stories are as good a read as this one.
I liked it quite a lot.
It's the first in the 'series' I bothered to read. From some comments, maybe I should quit while I'm ahead...
Thanks for a good read.
Thanks another interesting story that I think caught the sense of the times very well.

Thank you for writing this story
I am a 61 year old man and I am glad that I was able to read this story in private, because I would have had difficulty explaining to anyone why I cried so hard. Thank you, Thank you!

Splendid!
You did a excellent job! I am in tears after reading your story. It punched the right buttons, just like your other story Hero's Reward. Great job!

I consider myself to be a hardened, somewhat cynical, old man.
I teared up some during the funeral, could not help it. I guess I am turning into a hopeless romantic. There are worse things. Thank you for writing.
Yeah another old fart here -
Who teared up reading this piece of - well excellent prose.
Yeah I have read a couple of the other versions and all started so similarly and I liked them all but this was special -
Thank you
no surprise
a bit of a fluff story but a beautiful one. Few authors consistently write such heartfelt stories.
