. . . and the Rains Came (Paperback)

." . . And the Rains Came," is a novel that plays upon the emotions, hopes, needs and biases of both men and women in regards to life, love, and relationships. It is a modern romance universal in its appeal; it is the story of two people who find love, lose it, and then learn how to love all over again. Soulmates: fact or fiction? One need not believe in this concept to realize the romanticism and idealism inherent in it. One need not ever experience this concept in actuality to realize the hope and yearning it engenders. For Laura and David this concept is both fantasy and fact. We follow these two characters through a lifetime filled with both incredible love and torturous betrayal. We witness David and Laura's first meeting, and the birth of their daughter. We are also witness to the event that almost destroys their union. The ideal of "soulmate" gets bent, twisted, and then shattered as the inevitable pitfalls of living and loving intrude upon the fantasy of what should be. It then redefines itself as rebirth as they decide to love each other despite this, an enduring love that not even death can destroy. ." . . And the Rains Came" is a greatly descriptive and empathetic novel written in a way that promotes a deep and sincere connection between the reader and the characters. It creates an empathy that allows the reader to experience in real time the emotions, both positive and heart-wrenching, that the characters are experiencing. Vivid imagery both physically descriptive and emotional lends itself to a dynamic piece of fiction that one will want to read repeatedly and often.
