Title: Wrapped In Rain Author: Charles Martin Publisher: WestBow Press ISBN: 0-7852-6182-6 Genre: Inspirational/Contemporary/Fiction Tucker Rain is now an internationally famous photographer, known for his eye for tragedy and pain. With no pressing obligations, Tucker returns home to his Alabama roots to rest and regroup. When an old girlfriend, Katie, reappears toting a son and sporting a black eye, and his brother, Matthew, escapes from a mental institution, Tucker is forced to face the agony of his own tragic past—a past he’s struggled to get over. Now, with the demons of the past haunting his every step, Tucker is thinking more and more of his old nanny, Ella, a woman who influenced his life for the better. But will thinking of Miss Ella help him to heal? And what about the power of love? Wrapped In Rain is a somewhat sad story. It is hard to read about the abuse that Tucker had to face as a child, and how he longed for love. Given all that, it was amazing that he grew to amount to something as an adult. I don’t like to read sad stories, so sometimes it was a struggle to keep turning pages, but the end result is worth it. If you like contemporary stories about healing and redemption, then Wrapped In Rain is the book for you. Available at your favorite family bookstore now. $13.99. 320 pages. |
