Summary: When Gil met Lindsay
Review: While Gil is ending his visit with his sister in Chicago, he discovers that Lindsay Crawford, the neighbor across the hall, is driving down to Oklahoma which is where his destination is as well. When Lindsay begrudgingly offers him a ride, he agrees even though his good sense and caution warn him against his attraction for her. For Lindsay, the trip to Oklahoma would be bad enough considering the terrible weather. Adding Gil to the equation simply makes it worse. Growing up with a number of overprotective men in her family, she recognizes Gil as one of them and is easily infuriated when he starts to question her judgment on the road.

This begins the promising spinoff to Judy Christenberry's Circle K trilogy. In all truth, the road trip is perhaps the least appealing part of the story but because of the conditions surrounding it, Gil and Lindsay are given the chance to get to know each other better. Things get interesting when Lindsay's father and brothers enter the picture and Christenberry clearly illustrates exactly how protective they are of her. The author is quite convincing when it comes to portraying how restrictive a life Lindsay is forced to lead whenever she comes home. Somewhat unexpectedly, Gil turns out to be the character who develops the most but perhaps this is because he has a lot to learn. Lindsay proves to be the most admirable character, however, because she insists on standing her ground and proving to her family exactly how capable she is. Christenberry has written a wonderful and stirring story about a woman who is determined to make her own choices and to be accepted on her own terms with or without the support of the men in her life.
