Book Description

December 2004
Charlie Hunter is unprepared for the consequences with a hasty, life-altering decision she made...leaving her fiancé at the altar. Without explanation to her sisters and without visible remorse, Charlie tries to move forward with the only thing she has, her music.

Her two sisters decide to stay with her at her beach house but each with different intentions. At constant odds, Iris, the youngest and most irresponsible of the three, has no place to go while Catherine, the oldest sister who is guided by maternal guilt, has a hidden agenda of her own. She has one week to bring the family back together.

Each had gone their separate way after their mother's death from Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS) six years ago. In that time, they had never depended on each other and resentment shakes what little thread that holds them together. An unexpected tragedy exposes them to life's cruelty first-hand.

Tormented by the consequences of her decision, Charlie must return to the past to free her inner demons. But, that means facing her darkest fears...that she too bears the family fate. Could she love someone knowing that she could die on him like her mother died on her?

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read, March 24, 2003
By 
This review is from: When It Rains (Paperback)
An Emotionally gripping story about confronting your biggest fears and surviving against all odds. Three sisters, who haven't been a family since their mother passed away from Lou Gehrig's disease six years before, are together for Charlie's wedding. When Charlie leaves her fiance at the altar, her two sisters think that they need to save her, but they all have their disfunction. A couple unexpected twists tie the story together with a surprising ending. I loved this story!

This review is from: When It Rains (Paperback)
Anyone who has ever dealt with a terminal illness and especially Lou Gehrig's disease can appreciate this emotional story. The sisters each deal with the death of their mother and the fear tha they too will die from the disease in different ways. There were some twist in the plot which I did not expect. Great story!

This review is from: When It Rains (Paperback)
My daughter gave me a copy of this book and I read it when I was on vacation in Key West. It was a very moving story or life and death and how different people handle both. The ending was a real surprise and I would recommend this book.
