Item Description...
Overview
In this closing book of the Horse Dreams trilogy, soul-searching Indiana schoolteacher Develyn Worrell has finally found her groove. Ready to savor the end of summer in a small Wyoming town she once visited as a child, she settles in for a time of peace and contentment. That is, until her daughter pays a visit, an eclectic friend plans to marry, a suspicious stranger enters the picture, and a dear mentor suffers a heart attack.
Such confusion would be overwhelming, except for the steady friendship of Cooper Tallon. He may lack the charm and flash of other cowboys, but always seems to have just what Develyn's heart needs. And with her trust in the Lord still growing, she looks forward to whatever follows.

 | So Sorry This Series is Through! Mar 12, 2010 |
| The ins & outs of Develyn Worrell's life & loves kept me going throughout the 3 books. Love the title of this one! So wish there was more of the story. . .especially centered on Develyn's quirky friend! | | | | The best summer vacation I never had Oct 17, 2006 |
I read this series over the summer and compliment author Stephen Bly on a few levels. I'm not a horse person, I'm quite intimidated by anything bigger than a Golden Retriever. This series, and this book especially, made me feel like I was on vacation in Argenta too, watching all the fun unfold, and I wanted to jump on a horse and follow these characters as they galloped off to the sunset. The scenery depiction and town life felt so real I felt parched from the dust and in need to meet up with Dev if only for a few moments. This story had many laughs, deep, rich characters you truly get to know and care for, and a heart. Just like the Labor Day holiday signals the end of summer, turning the last page on this book was something I wasn't anxious to do.
Looking for an inexpensive get away? Journey with this series for a vacation you'll fondly remember and want to visit again and again. | | | | Fantastic! Believable. Life Changing Jul 28, 2006 |
I was given Wish I'd Known you Tears Ago as a gift. I read the book in one day...it's that good!
It's about a woman who basically runs to a place she loved as a little girl to rediscover herself. Towards the end of her journey she invites her college-aged daughter to join her in hopes of mending broken fences, and building a new bond.
Many strange things happen during the last days of summer that changes the woman's life forever...Will it be for the best? You'll have to read the book to find out.
One thing I can say is that you'll walk away with a few personal revelations of your own. | | | | Been There - Done That Jun 26, 2006 |
Stephen Bly is able to bring me to tears either with laughter or
pathos. How he can write so believably about females amazes me.
Having lived with school teachers and hearing their discussions
at holiday meals and family get togethers Develyn and her love
for her students mirrors several of the elementary teachers of
my various family members. But Mr. Bly doesn't stop with
believable characters, instead he keeps me reading to all hours
of the day and night to see what kind of "fix" his characters
will wind up in next.
Delaney perhaps was the least believable of the bunch since
most modern fillies would have solved the dilemma of pregnant
or not in the length of time it took to get to a pharmacy, get
back home and do the test. Then before they stewed for several
weeks would have repeated the test. However, the anguish Delaney
went through and the treatment of her mother throughout the
whole ordeal of pregnant or not parallels well with the relationship existing between daughters and mothers witnessed
in my own experience. With four sisters and myself and numerous
daughters the yin and yang of rearing girls does see-saw endlessly and never seems to be completely resolved with the
realization that both mothers and daughters can truly settle
down to a permanent and lasting peace of simply loving one
another undeservably/unreservably.
Cooper Tallon? What can I say except could we clone a few of
him for the widows of Texas. On the other hand I believe the
Hunter Burkes of the world may have been cloned already. Casey
Cree-Ryder's Jackson is every mother's wish for her daughters.
Which leads back to the fact that Stephen Bly does men quite
well also.
A wonderful tale of Wyoming and the yen most of us have of re-
visiting the wonderful times of our youth and resolving the
heartaches of our middle or senior seasons of life. Made me
want to revist the land of blue skys, wide open spaces and
typical Western people, culture and terrain. | | | | Summer Hootin' Fun Jun 9, 2006 |
| What a hoot....you find yourself smiling or laughing out loud when reading this series. I think the heroine Develyn is capable of stimulating Stephen's creative powers in producing at least 3 more adventures. I didn't want Develyn's summer vacation to end. This is a fun set of novels to escape in....if you're due for a vacation...and there's none in the immediate future...get lost with Develyn and you'll feel as if you'd been there by her side. | | | | Like licking an Orange Popsicle! May 30, 2006 |
| A great conclusion to the Horse Dreams Trilogy. Well written contemporary western fiction. Have you known people who just seem to be able to make friends with anyone, from truck stop waitresses to wealthy ranchers, from precocious 10 year olds to eccentic senior citizens? Well, Devy-girl, the main character in this series is one of them! The characters are continuously developed through the trilogy. Each book allows you to get to know new characters, and yet the people you met and loved in the previous books are still continuing to grow and even surprise you in the last. Great life-lessons learned without being preachy. . . well at least it is in character for a middle-aged 5th grade teacher from Indiana. | | | Write your own review about Wish Id Known You Tears Ago (Horse Dreams V3)
