Hope's Highway

Summary

Margie Kinnard is thrilled when the father she barely knows agrees to take her to California. For years, she has yearned to try her luck in Hollywood. But her troubles start the moment she steps into his truck.

Ornery and embittered, Elmer Kinnard couldn't care less about his daughter or the families in their small caravan: the parents whose blind son longs for a radio career; the brother and sister united by fierce loyalty and hope. But Margie is intensely interested in everyone---especially the rough-hewn rancher who later joins their little convoy with his young niece. Brady Hoyt, who knows all about heartbreak, has no intention of getting involved with Margie, just as she has no intention of sacrificing her movie star dreams for a man with a ready-made family.

Tragedy strikes, someone turns traitor, and a dangerous stalker threatens them all on the highway they call Route 66.
