"Rainy Day People" This is a story of struggle and resilience. It’s rooted in truth and woven into a fresh fictional tapestry that embraces all the ageless qualities and maladies innate in the human psyche. Widowed early, Amber is content, maybe complacent, in solitude. Soothed by a quirky affinity with Nature, and a trust in a larger purpose, she also has a reckless, belligerent side. Ben is an airline pilot turned successful writer caught up in the glitz of L.A. and its pitfalls at the cost of family, health, and direction. They meet by chance (or was it?) and embark on a journey neither was seeking, or prepared for, culminating in an edge-of-the-seat ending that leaves the reader stunned. |
