Dear
Readers,
I
have a new rule for selling fiction. Anytime a book contains a
story line that is about a boy and his dog, it needs to be sold with a box of
tissues with it. Heaven sent Rain by Lauraine
Snelling is one of those that should have a box with it.
Dinah's life is well ordered, everything is in its place and she
is happy. Her company just made a big break through with a dietary
supplement and it looks like everything is smooth sailing. Then she stops
for breakfast one morning and her perfect life is suddenly tangled up with
Jonah.
Jonah is a very different 7 year old boy. He seems to be
taken care of, as his clothes are clean and neat. He looks like he is
getting enough to eat and yet every morning he and his dog are sitting outside
of Extraburger. Dinah stops and feeds them breakfast one morning and her
life will never be the same.
Most of you will be able to figure out the story
line quickly, but it does not take away the pleasure of reading
this book. It was a perfect read for a
quiet Sunday afternoon. It is heartwarming and a great
reminder that we do live in a community and we need to take care of each other
even when it knocks us out of our comfort zones.
I have enjoyed many of Lauraine’s books and recommend them to
readers as often as I can. The historical ones shine a light on different
parts of America’s settling, while her contemporary ones often have an
important lesson in a very gentle story. I look forward to seeing
what she has to say next.
Happy Reading,
