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!

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!

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.

When It Rains is a story about sisters and how a tragety in life can mess up a relationship. This novel from first-time writer, Marjorie Spoto not only told the story as if it was happening first hand, but she delved right into the minds of all the characters, telling a wonderful story about relationships and life. The novel reminds me of Steel Magnolias and Stepmom. The characters are real and the conclusion is rewarding. I would highly recommend this book.
