Product Description

Paige Woodward is a woman without choices. Her destitute mother's only hope for a cure isn't covered by insurance. When a dream opportunity arises at a brand-new pharmacy, Paige is willing to keep quiet about her past to make sure she lands the job.

For Clarissa Richardson, the dream of running her own pharmacy comes to a screeching halt when her grandfather hires a too-perfect new girl who seems to be hiding something. How far will they go to protect their dreams for tomorrow? What will happen when one woman's last hope means ruining another woman's greatest dream?

5.0 out of 5 stars Cushman did it again, December 19, 2008
By K. Vorreiter (San Jose, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
When I started _Waiting_for_Daybreak_, I just knew that Cushman would have me crying in public. Again. And I was right. I'd read her _Promise_to_Remember_, so I knew how well she can create rounded, likable characters. I also knew that, since I was reading on vacation, I was likely to get so drawn into the story that I would risk crying in public rather than put the book down to wait for a private moment. I LOVE Cushman's unique setting (a pharmacy in Tenn., fun to learn about) and her ability to create conflict on several levels for several characters. I steer clear of trite Christiany dialogue and inner monologue. I found Paige, and Ora (LOVE ORA) and others to be genuine, flawed and faithful. I won't say much about the antagonist wench, except that while I didn't necessarily like her, I was sympathetic to her. There was one masterful scene in particular where Cushman had me grudgingly misting up over injustice towards Clarissa. Nice pull. I highly recommend WfD. (and btw, loved the title, and how it ties into the story).

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, October 6, 2008
This was my first time reading a book by this author and I was not disappointed by it at all. The author really knows how to explore the deepest feelings of her characters. It was a wonderful story, well written and researched. I absolutely loved the spiritual aspect of the book and it really ministered to me. I wept in parts and took away something from the book that is going to help me in my own spiritual walk right now. Don't hesitate to buy this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating story, October 30, 2008
Waiting For Daybreal is the fascinating story of two women and the conflict between them.
Paige Woodward's mother has cancer and needs expensive treatments. Paige's job at Nashville Free Clinic doesn't pay much, but she has a strong sense of compassion for the people she meets there. However, she needs to find a job that will bring in more income so she can help her parents. A man doing some work at the clinic hires her as an employee for his granddaughter. Paige accepts the job only to find that no one told her new boss about her.
Clarissa Richards wanted to open a pharmacy in Nashville in the exact building where her grandmother used to work. Instead, her grandfather bought a theater in Shoal Creek, and put a pharmacy there. Clarissa hates being stuck out here in the sticks, but no one seems to care what she wants. Then her grandfather hires Paige Woodward and doesn't even tell her about it, and for Clarissa, that is going too far.
Waiting for Daybreak is a compelling story about two women locked in a desperate battle neither one can win. Kathryn Cushman has a knack for digging into her characters and bringing them to life on the page. A great story, I'm proud to recommend.
