To Love Somebody
by Lyn Cote
1963-1979
"History relived before your eyes. Gripping, Rich with History and Love."
"Wonderful! This series, The Carlyle Women, gets better with each book."
A child of the sixties, Leigh Sinclair always knows what she wants to achieve to be a journalist. So why does her mother Bette always try to hold her back? Leigh senses there's something behind her mother's overprotecting her. This secret builds a wall between them.
When Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, sets in motion his March on Washington in 1963, no one---least of all, Leigh---could have predicted how this would impact her life. Leigh takes on the other challenges of the 1960's: the Cold War, Vietnam. With the change in women's rights, she's faced with many new choices her grandmother and mother never encountered. But falling for the wrong man brings Leigh consequences she never envisioned.
Wounded but undeterred, Leigh realizes her dream, becoming a journalist. To research an article, she enlists the aid of NYPD detective Nate Gallagher. He sees her strength, also her audacity, and tries to protect her and woo her---in vain. She won't trust love again. Then one day the worst Leigh could imagine happens. Will Nate be able to make this come right for her? And will her frozen heart melt so she'll let him love her?
The Carlyle Women-four generations,
each facing the challenges of her time
and each harboring her own painful secret~
"To Love Somebody is an amazing story! Leigh Sinclair is a woman of her time, independent, passionate about the issues she believes in... It's an intense story with plenty of stirring events that showcase the turbulent time with the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War. It's a story that captures the time perfectly, and Leigh and the things that happen to her are a compelling story. I highly recommend it."
"Once again Lyn Cote handled the problems and fears of another generation of mothers and daughters fighting to do 'their own thing.'...Lyn Cote handles the angst that each generation feels as they battle to be 'heard.'"
"Like the other books in this series, Leigh's story is a time-capsule of the 60's and 70's. You are transported to the Tidal Basin in DC "right up front" at the Martin Luther King "I have a dream" rally. ... the hippie generation is depicted in her friend Mary's life, black-white forbidden romance in her friend Frank's life, and moral mistakes that are redeemed by Christ's love."
