Hometown Memories #1
After All These Years
Curry James knows how to cope with being left alone.
Still living in the same white farmhouse where she grew up, Curry watched those closest to her leave—her parents by tragic death, her husband to war, and her best friend, Tom, who walked away because he couldn’t deal with being left alive.
Then one day, without warning, Tom returns. Curry appears as down-to-earth as she ever was, but her survival has come at a cost and now it’s up to Tom to help Curry re-open her heart to life’s joy.

This read more like women's fiction as there was heavy emphasis on familial relationships than on romance. The only spice in this supposed romance was the heroine's name (Curry) because I felt Curry and Tom only loved each other as friends, then later as friends with benefits, but never as true lovers. I didn't believe in the happy ending at all! I felt Tom would always be second best in Curry's eyes, having been forced to settle because her late husband, Huck, had died. Speaking of whom, there was way too much mention of Huck. He's involved in quite a few of the flashbacks; even their first time sleeping together was described. I also didn't like how Curry mentally compared the two men while having sex with Tom for the first time.
What about Tom's secret? It was overblown and shouldn't have affected his relationship with Curry, which it didn't after all.
And I must mention the cheating. It's all treated so blasé. Just like the so-called "romance".

So this was incredibly readable and longer than it needed to be, and I could talk about how it's a great second chance with mutual healing, but all I can think about is how I think there was cousin loving and no one seemed to care???
Anyway, I like Kathleen Gilles Seidel.

I was surprised at how readable this turned out to be, which went a long way toward me finishing it. It's a romance, but it reads more like women's fiction about family, grief, and healing. As a romance, it wasn't particularly exciting, but it was a decent story nonetheless.
Although the hero, Tom, was kind of dull, I really liked the heroine, Curry. She was very much Not Like Other Girls (being the only woman in town who wears jeans, and what's more, the only woman who even looks good in them!), but this perception of her was more from other people than her. Her personality was straightforward and relatable.
Given that this was published in the 80s, there is some dated and vaguely sexist language/ideas that was annoying. Despite that, this was a surprisingly progressive book (Curry was a feminist!) that left me pleasantly surprised.

A charming story of two childhood friends who find love and romance after many years. The difference between this book's plot and others is that there were once three friends, two boys, Tom and Howard (called Huck, of course), and a girl, Curry. Curry and Huck had married after high school, as had Tom about a year later, then Huck and later Tom went off to war (Vietnam). Huck was killed there; Tom was wounded. After he returns to the States, Tom visits his boyhood home and learns a family secret. He is devastated and leaves without visiting Curry and her young son, who is named Huck.
Fifteen years later, Tom returns to fix up his father's house and put it on the market. Tom has restored old houses all over the country; people wait a year or more for him to work on their homes. Tom doesn't expect to enjoy his time in Gleeson, South Dakota, but thanks to Huck and Curry, he does. Tom falls in love with Curry all over again (he'd loved her in high school and had dated her before Huck had), but he needs to learn some truths about himself and deal with his past in order to find the happily-ever-after he and Curry deserve.

Kathleen Gilles Seidel is a fantastic author and I have been plumbing her backlist. Although some of her books are trapped in their dated-ness, I find that others (like When Love Isn't Enough, The Same Last Name) are unexpectedly insightful on the interplay between gender, power, and romantic heterosexual commitment. After All These Years explores at length formative romantic relationships begun as teenagers, and how these relationships shape and define not only younger years, but in some cases the later shape of adult life.
It is also interesting how frank and honest this 1984 book is, with our male protagonist, Tom, reconnecting with his childhood sweetheart before and in the midst of an amicable divorce. Tom is deeply shaped by his experiences as a Vietnam vet and afraid of commitments to people, places, and identities that bring with them social expectations and the possibility of failure. He is self-sabotaging, self-flagellating, and lonely even as he is also strong, caring, and decent. Curry is a treat- brave, committed, and no-nonsense; she is rewarded with a relationship that promises to widen her horizons and bring joy back into her life. Really rather an astonishing book.

After All These Years (Hometown Memories) - PG13
Violence: none
Language: fewer than 30
Sex: roaming hands, no big details. Coming of age scenes.
This came as a BookBub offering and I decided to purchase it after I saw all the awards and accolades it has received. It's an EXCELLENT book, and so extremely well written. I wanted to read it again right after I finished it. That is something that rarely happens with me.
The characters are so real. I've thought about them for many days. There were several chapters that I just couldn't figure out how they were going to fit. It's a wonderful thing how completely Ms. Seidel developed the characters and the story.
Highly recommend.

A wonderful contemporary story, simple and well written. The story didn't need "hooks" to draw the reader in, it didn't have lots of action or lots of sex (there was some). It was a very human story about genuine people that you couldn't help but like.
Tom, Huck and Curry grew up as the best of friends - bonded together by shared family grief. Eventually, Curry marries Huck and has a son before Huck is killed in Vietnam. Moving forward about 15 years -- Tom returns to town to work on his father's house and reunited with Curry. Tom is married, but in a distant relationship, and has a teenage daughter. Can Tom and Curry move past their histories and form a new type of relationship?
The writing was smooth and comfortable, almost a relaxing experience. I never lost interest and I came to deeply care about the characters. Excellent book.

Although this probably isn't KGS's best book--she just keeps getting better!--you would have to go some to find a more relatable heroine than Curry James. Over the years, I've bought three copies of this--you should never loan it out!--and undoubtedly read it 10 times. By now, it's probably a little dated, but not jarringly so because the things that no longer apply--well, I wish they did.
If I could give this more than five stars, I would.

Kathleen is one of my three favorite living authors. I have never lent one to anyone who didn't like Kathleen, men and women alike. Some of her books are date because she wrote them years ago, but all are still very worth reading - even the Harlequins!

Slow to start but very good
I enjoyed reading this. I knew as soon as there was mention about Vietnam it was written awhile back. The story was still very enjoyable. There was a lot of going round and round with the subject starting to feel like it wasn't get ten anywhere but it did flow and I enjoyed it.

This was an emotional and deep rooted novel, however it wasn't for me. It was good and well written. The secret to me overall wasn't that huge of a deal, I was waiting for something mind blowing and this novel, in that department was severely lacking.
November 19, 2015
Not a "bad book", but definitely a dated one. The sexual politics of the teenagers, both Curry's and Tom's memories as well as Huck's present, are probably period appropriate but pretty painful to read. The genealogies are weird, too, but that may have been me losing focus.
July 25, 2016
Felt unnecessarily long. I didn't feel it between Tom and Curry. Anymore than friends at least. And the secret he has? Really?? Not sure how this is a romance book since it didn't have a lot of romance.

So interesting to read a longer Harlequin originally published during my young adulthood (1984), which displays decidedly feminist leanings. The protagonists here are two white South Dakota-ans who grew up as members of a tight-knit childhood trio: Curry, a tomboy, and her two neighbors, Huck and Tom. When they reached their teen years, Curry and Tom became sexually curious before Huck did, and began exploring (together) without Huck. But after Tom pushed too hard for sex, ignoring Curry's wishes, Curry puts an end to the exploration. The story does suggest that such pushing is natural to boys, but it also asserts that adolescent girls are naturally sexually curious too, and that consent is vital, both of which seem fairly progressive for the time in which the book was written. (These points are made through the secondary characters, too, Curry's son [also named Huck], and Tom's daughter, who indulge in a summer fling).
After Curry broke things off with Tom, Huck and Curry began dating, and then married right out of high school. But at the start of the novel, Curry is a widow; Huck and Tom both served in Vietnam, but only Tom survived. In the years since, Curry's been making her way as a single mother; she's opened a successful business (a paint store), and then, after selling it, is now putting herself through community college, planning to become a high school history teacher.
Tom, meanwhile, married someone else right after Huck and Curry announced their engagement, but survivor's guilt and lack of anything in common with his wife lead to unofficial estrangement. Tom travels the country, restoring historical properties, but returns to his home town to remodel his father's house after his father retires south. He's deliberately kept out of contact with Curry all these years, but since Curry still lives in Huck's family's old house, he knows he's going to have to see her again. And when the two fall quickly back into familiar friendship, and then acknowledge their continued physical attraction to one another, they must begin to unravel their complicated feelings about each other, and about the husband and best friend whom they've both lost.
Fascinating (and so different from many of today's romances) to find the narrative not negatively judging either Curry or Tom for having sex while Tom is still married to someone else—another clear feminist moment.
A romance for readers looking for more realistic rather than fantasy/wish-fulfillment type romances, and curious about what white feminism looked like in the early 1980s.
CW: A racist comment by a minor character goes unchallenged by the female protagonist, and several characters, including the leads, make homophobic assumptions.

After thoroughly enjoying Don’t Forget to Smile, I wanted to try something else by this author. Unfortunately, this one really didn’t age well (the gender essentialism and casual homophobia were beyond what might be expected from a book published in 1984) and I’m also bored. I could try to keep going but it’s not likely to improve for me. Curry and Tom are messing around while he’s married to someone else. Even if the marriage isn’t great and he now knows his wife is seeing someone else, he cheated on her regularly. Why on earth didn’t he divorce her years ago? He’s just not a good guy, nor is he a good father. He’s barely been involved in his daughter’s life. Curry isn’t bothered at all that he’s married, which was so off-putting to me. I frankly have no idea what she sees in him, especially since he sexually assaulted her when they dated in high school. I’m floored she and Huck stayed friends with him at all back then! Much less that she’d want to spend any time with him now.
Characters: Curry is a 36 year old white college student (history major) and former paint store owner. She has a 16 year old son named Huck. Tom is a 36 year old white carpenter/historic restorationist and ex-Army. He’s married and has a 15 year old daughter named Diana. This is set in Gleeson, SD.
Content notes: infidelity (MMC is married and regularly cheats on his wife; he kisses FMC before he learns his wife is dating someone back home; MMC and FMC have sex while he is still married, past sexual assault , past war and injury (disabled leg), past death of FMC’s husband/MMC’s best friend (Vietnam War), MMC’s father was emotionally neglectful and wielded corporal punishment, past death of FMC’s grandmother who was her guardian (dementia), past death of FMC’s parents and MMC’s mother (they were in the same car accident, along with MMC’s best friend’s father), purity culture (sex talk with Diana), past death of FMC’s mother-in-law (cancer), past miscarriage (MMC’s wife), sexism, homophobia (not countered), acephobia (wanting to have sex is equated as normal), past pregnancy, unsafe sex practices (condomless sex without discussion of pregnancy or STI prevention; afterward MMC reveals he had a vasectomy and doesn’t have any STIs), on page sex, alcohol, past underage drinking (secondary character), incest joke, ageist joke, STD stigma, gender essentialism, ableist language

Blood brothers
Curry and Tom have been friends ever since they were kids growing up in the midwest with Huck and made a promise to always be there for each other. Twenty years later, Curry falls in love with Tom but can't understand why he is refusing her the same. Surprises abound and it has more to do with the lost friend than she can imagine. This book is very well written and I'd recommend it to anyone who likes a little mystery in their romance novel.

I enjoyed this book very much. This book makes me feel glad that I have hope that this life is not the end and that I will see my friends and loved ones again. I thought it was a very good read. Tom sure has gone through a lot of heart break and carried quite a load of guilt and self doubt and loathing. He shuns almost all labels. Curry feels that when people leave they don't come back. Both Tom and Curry are able to overcome their fears and shortcomings to find love with each other.

A story set around three decades in the past, it's about a pair of childhood sweethearts, then friends, then estranged friends, then lovers as they rekindle their relationship and cope with what made them estranged in the first place - war, trauma, and time.
I found it to be a decent read with not terribly advanced vocabulary which made for a good distracting read.

A longtime favorite. This was my first time with the audiobook, which, unfortunately, was not a success. The narrator was pretty bad. I had to listen on 1.5 speed, and even so, was constantly annoyed by poor choices in word emphasis. Still, one of my favorite books from one of my favorite authors.
March 30, 2025
After All These Years is a cute, feel-good romance, but I thought the plot was a little flat because I felt like I was reading your typical and stereotypical Halmark romance, meaning the story is predictable until the very last page. It wasn't my favorite, but overall, the storyline was ok.

One of my all time favorites!
Childhood friends meet again. Both have teenagers, she is a widow and he is unhappily married.
Interesting history of their lives and current interactions.

It was a good book but so!e of the flashbacks were confusing to me and I had a hard time understanding where I was in the book. But I'm sure that was just me.
