Wrapped in Rain (udgave 2006)

Excellent, as always. ( )

Well written. It started slow but once I got into it, I really liked it. Rain is cleverly wound though out the story. ( )

This book was written by an author that I really enjoy reading. The story was well thought out and I enjoyed most of the characters, even the "ghost." In this story the good wins over the evil and in some places in the story the author lays the goodness on thick. The book was full of human emotions. I will seek out this author again in the future.

"One of the Best I have read! He will blow you away with his characters with raw feelings and emotion! If you are from the south, you will enjoy!" I have read all his books - he never disappoints! ( )

Two half-brothers, both internally scarred by their father's neglect and abuse, find solace under the tender care of their colored housekeeper. She was a praying woman, and constantly told the boys that life is battle not to be fought with fists, but with one's heart and being on one's knees. In their adult years, the boys each battled with their own demons, struggling and running from painful memories. Their housekeeper cum nanny passed on years before, but continues to live on in their memories, often 'quipping' in guidance and/or admonishment -- very much like Jiminy Cricket's role as one's conscience. This is a story of laying down one's burdens, of forgiveness, of endings, and of new beginnings. ( )
