The Sound of Rain - A Book Review

The thing that first drew me to The Sound of Rain was the beautiful cover and I soon realized that it had an equally beautiful story withing it's pages.

The Sound of Rain is by Sarah Loudin Thomas.  It is set in the 1950's in South Carolina.  After a family tragedy Judd decides to never work in the mines again.  He leaves his hometown in West Virginia to start a new live in Myrtle Beach South Carolina.  It's not long before he begins to develop feelings for his bosses daughter.

If you've ever suffered loss.  If you've ever sought after God's path for your life, this book will be one that you easily connect with.  The story will tug at your heartstrings and leave you feeling encouraged.
