It’s Friday again! I’m really enjoying recommending great books to you each Friday and hopefully some of you are getting some ideas for good weekend reads. Now as summer vacation is quickly approaching, I want to encourage you to not write spring off too early.
The novel Spring Rain by Gayle Roper would be a great way to wrap up the spring season. If you are the type who likes a little of everything in your novels, Gayle Roper is the writer for you. She incorporates romance, suspense, faith and controversy, all in one book. She doesn’t shy away from dealing with difficult topics and this is no syrupy sweet religious novel. The characters deal with real-world issues of homosexuality, pre-marital sex, death, forgiveness and difficult family relationships.
In Spring Rain, Roper tells the story of single mother Leigh Spenser, seeking to raise her son amidst the swirling rumours and memories that surround her past. When Clay Wharton arrives home to make peace with his estranged twin — Leigh’s best friend Ted who is dying from AIDS — her past comes back to haunt her anew.
I loved reading Spring Rain and am excited to be part way through book two of the Seaside Seasons. series, Summer Shadows. I am already enjoying it immensely. I can’t wait to dig into the rest of the series.
Have a great weekend everyone and get reading!
Thank you….sounds like a treasure. I need to check this one out further…there just isnt enough time in the day for me to read as much as I would like. andrea
