The
Sound of Rain
This book has
everything, romance, a mine cave in, a hurricane, a couple whose Father and
Mother don’t approve of their being together and Faith in God above. What more could a person want in reading a
book? Also love, lots of love! The inspirational drama takes place in the
town of Myrtle Beach, South Caroline. A
miner comes to town who no longer wishes to go under ground to earn a living
and starts working for Larkin Heyward’s Fathers timber company. He falls in love with the daughter of the
owners’ daughter which just isn’t suitable, until she runs away to join her
brother who has become a minister to the people of Appalachia. Larkin just wants to help people she soon
finds though that these people are proud people and they don’t want help from
any outsiders. I picked the book up and
read it through in a day or two. It was
hard to put down. Judd and Larkin’s
story as told in this novel is a wonderful read and I do recommend the book to
anyone who likes to read romance!
This book was a
gift from Bethany House, they give them out in hopes that the recipient will
post reviews of the book which I have.
I’m sure the writer will appreciate the post!
Description as
found on Good Reads: In the Dark of the
Mine, In the Face of Rising Water,
In the Shadows of the Hills, Faith Will See Them Through
Judd Markley knew he could never set foot underground again. The mine collapse that nearly killed him and claimed his brother's life meant leaving West Virginia forever. Although that hard-Appalachian world was all he knew, he put it behind him and headed for the open sky of the thriving town of 1954 Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Larkin Heyward's life in the beach town is uncomplicated, mostly volunteer work and dancing at the Pavilion. But she dreams of one day doing more and being more--maybe moving to the hills and hollers of Kentucky to help the poor children of Appalachia. But she's never even met someone who's lived there--until she encounters Judd, the newest employee at her father's timber company.
Drawn together in the wake of a hurricane that changes Myrtle Beach forever, Judd's and Larkin's dreams pull them in divergent directions. It will take a significant sacrifice to keep them together--or maybe, it will take a miracle.
