Recently, I had the good fortune to read Some Glad Morning, a novel by Gary C. Horton. Rarely have I been so moved by a work of fiction. I was told it was a love story and that was what I expected. However, I quickly realized it was much more than that.
Some Glad Morning reminds me of the bestseller Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier, but with more heart, more soul. Some Glad Morning has a magical way of touching us down deep.
Ransom MacTavish is the main character of Some Glad Morning. He's a poor innocent when the story opens and immediately captures our heart as we willingly follow him from a dirt poor farm to fight in the First World War. On the battlefield, he comes to possess love letters from a wealthy Charleston Lady. Returning home, Ransom battles monsters of greed and racism as time and again he proves himself worthy.
Some Glad Morning is more of a quest novel propelled by the heart than purely a love story. Ransom is a hero and this is his journey as he confronts overwhelming odds to win the love of his lady. The plot reminds me of a fantasy in its cleverness and how it speaks so deeply to the human heart.
Ransom's challenges arise because of his innocence. Still, he must face and defeat the monsters of greed and stupidity. Through it all, it is his courage to love that carries him onward.
Within a few sentences you will realize you are in the hands of a seasoned storyteller, a master of his craft. The characters are rendered flawlessly and the settings richly visual and charged with emotion. There are countless unforgettable scenes in Some Glad Morning, but one you will never get out of your mind is the battlefield scene of Ransom attending to his dying lieutenant.
After reading Some Glad Morning, I felt reassured. Like enduring novels from the past, Some Glad Morning lifted my spirit. It gave me pause and moved me to reflect on my closest relationships and what I expected from myself.
I saw how each one of us is on a journey and we are tested to see if we are strong enough to go the distance for our greatest love. Some Glad Morning is a tremendous story, one I'm sure you will remember for a long time.
