Rainwater (Large Print)
The Depression is taking its toll on single mother Ella Barron, who runs a boarding house to help make ends meet. Caring for her 10-year-old son Solly, whose failure to speak has solicited unwanted advice from everyone in her small Texas town, isn’t easy for Ella, either. But mysterious new boarder David Rainwater seems to have the magic touch not just with Solly, but with his reluctant landlady. Unable to resist David’s strength of purpose or his passion, Ella enters into a relationship that will give her the courage to withstand the winds of change that are sweeping the country...and her life.
Sandra Brown’s Rainwater is an enthralling tale that will touch your heart and linger there long after you’ve turned the last page.

I have always enjoyed Sandra Brown's books but Rainwater has to be her best one!!! Very different from her normal writing but I enjoyed it so much. I started it on Thursday and could not put it down until I finished. Take the time to read this one, you won't be disappointed. Good job, Sandra!!

.....this near historical mini-epic beautifully crafted as a satisfying story which stakes its claim over a wider range than a mere romantic novel.

Gentle, thoughtful, a tender and defining love

Sandra Brown has been one of my "must read" authors for a long time. I never miss her books, whether it's a murder mystery or a romance. Rainwater was a big departure from her usual style. It was a a slower time, and she catches the flavor and style beautifully. The tenderness of this love story will stay in your heart for a long time.

"Rainwater" is a moving, and powerful book! Sandra Brown made the characters come alive, one felt you were right there in the midst of everything.
Her ability too touch on subjects as autisim, race and the ability too love, was done very well. Her ability too pull out to the readers, the strengths that still exist in American people today, is very powerful.
It's rare that such a good book comes along like this one, it makes you want to read it again. Once I finished the book, the story lingered in my mind...one not too be forgotten.
