Seller's Description:
Very good. Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. 306 p. Audience: General/trade. It s 1954 and Perla Long s arrival in the sleepy town of Wise, West Virginia, was supposed to go unnoticed. She just wants a quiet, safe place for her and her daughter, Sadie, where the mistakes of her past can stay hidden. But then drought comes to Wise, and Perla is pulled into the turmoil of a town desperately in need of a miracle. Casewell Phillips has resigned himself to the life of a bachelor...until he meets Perla. She s everything he s sought in a woman, but he can t get past the sense she s hiding something. As the drought worsens, Perla s unique gift divides the town in two, bringing both gratitude and condemnation, placing the pair in the middle of a storm of anger and forgiveness, fear and faith.
Perla Long and her daughter arrive at her Aunt's house trying to avoid gossip. But gossip is everywhere and church people and town's people are quick to judge her without knowing circumstances.
Caswell struggle with fact Perla has a daughter and no husband. Sadie, the daughter, is blessed with a loving nature.
Living in a small town, I know what it is to not be accepted. I have felt the judgment of others first hand.
The drought in the book is because of no rain. But one can walk through a dry period in their soul. Caswell's Dad walked through one.
The wedding and Casswell's having to chase his beloved down is so beautiful.
God has a way to work to bring good in the midst of dry spells.
I highly recommend this book.
