Summary: A HARLEQUIN-ESQUE STANDARD WESTERN
Review: "westward,ho,the women" is a 1950's western starring robert taylor about a wagon train taking selected women west to be brides for the frontier men. In a nutshell that is what this book is.A little variation: our heroines Laura and Tucker are orphans and Laura is blind; The scoutmaster (like Robt Taylor) is a hunk, his scout is a halfbreed, the bad guys want the women..it was a cute western movie in the 50's but very predictable book. The other thing it lacked is depth. It made a big deal of Lucas possession of a tintype which resembled Tucker but never tied it in at all, and though all of the characters were interesting, we never got to really know them well. Too bad.

Summary: DEFINITELY A KEEPER!
Review: Any of her books are definitely keepers. Collect them - loan them - but definitely read them again!Do not pass up the story of Tucker and Lucas and their trials and their finding and sharing love. You will get a real sense of life on a wagon train and the dangers that follow these people. And I enjoyed the way all of the stories were tied together at the end so we have a feeling of completeness of these characters lives. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED -- add to your library.

Summary: Fun, emotional... WOW!
Review: Each and every character compliments the entire story. There is not a wasted word or unnecessary character in this entire book! I'd have to say this story is as close to perfect as possible! The three romances that form during the wagon train are spicy, sweet, and intriguing! Tucker and Lucas just set off firecrackers and sparks with every meeting. Buck and Laura are sweet and endearing... a beautiful tale of a blind woman and a rough trail man. Rafe and Marie were intriguing and mysteriously delicious. Amazing to read about a woman of that strength and knowledge... although Ms. Garlock doesn't seem to write about weak women. But of all things, the way the women managed to bond together and survive the hardships of a wagon trail, was endearing and very enjoyable to read. Ms. Garlock is a genius, and it's hard to believe she wasn't actually there during the era she writes about, as the detail and the path she makes to your own imagination are superb.

Summary: THE BEST!! :-)
Review: I am a huge Dorothy Garlock fan. I have read at least 20 of her books. In my opinion, "The Searching Hearts" was the best of all her books!
