Windrow Garden

by Janet E. McClellan

As a bitter, January wind whips through Leavenworth County, Kansas, Sally Windrow prepares for another hectic year of farming on the 620-acre spread that has been in her family for seventy-five years. Unfortunately, her hired hand and chief mechanic is seriously injured in an accident. Frantic because all the skilled labor in the area has already been hired at neighboring farms, Sally puts an ad in the local paper, hoping a good man will turn up. To Sally's surprise, her ad is answered quickly... by a woman. Forced out of the Army by an anti-gay witchhunt, Master Sergeant Nicole Jaeger is a trained mechanic and at a crossroads in her life, trying to find a place to start over. New to the area, and with no ties to bind her, Nicole convinces Sally she will be a loyal and hard-working employee. As Sally and Nicole work side-by-side to make the farm and roadside restaurant successful, the women develop a strong and trusted friendship that soon blossoms into romance.

I satisfying

If I wanted a book on farming and gardening I wouldn't have bought a lesbian romance. The story line had potential, but it was no more than a novella padded with how to run a farm.

A terrible half assed book. There was so much build up in the beginning, it seemed like it would be a great 300 something paged book. But then the author got lazy. There was no lead up to Sally being a closeted lesbian. Where the hell did Sally's mother come from, there were absolutely no mentions of her before. There was no major details on how Sally knew that Mr. Bradley was a slimeball. There was no closing the conflict between Sally (and Nicole) and Sally's mother. etc. This book went from being full with detail and believability and then cut to the almost narration ending being told through a series of people... little details slipp away and leaving the read clueless.

This story is written in a unique way. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but I still found it compelling in some way.
