The Depression is taking its toll on single mother Ella Barron, who runs a boarding house to help make ends meet. Caring for her ten-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 think I have read every book that Sandra Brown has written and liked them all. I didn't dislike this book, but I wouldn't put it in the top list of my favorites. It certainly is very different from any of her other books. Had I not read her name on the book I wouldn't have thought she had written it.

Does anyone know if this is a reprint? I've read most of her books starting at Harlequin but I can't remember them all. Someone let me know. Thanks.

Sandra Brown hasn't written anything that I haven't at least liked, and I have loved most of her work, but Rainwater blew me away. It is her finest novel to date. I finished it in one afternoon and literally said at the end that it was one of the best books I have ever read, and I read a great deal. It's a different tone than she has been doing lately, but it's still a terrific read. I highly recommend it.

Took again a chance and read Sandra Brown's book. Haven't read many of her late..haven't found them interesting.
Took a chance with Smash Cut and throughtly enjoyed. This newest one...Heart wrenching....an old fashion tear jerker

She never fails me..............every one of her books is a delight to read. I usually read them in a day or two. This was an outstanding story of love and courage.
