About this ebook

From New York Times bestselling author Charles Martin comes a deeply moving Southern novel about the haunting nature of the past and how a traumatic childhood shapes the lives of two brothers, perfect for fans of Nicholas Sparks or Lisa Wingate.

On a sprawling Southern estate, Tucker and his younger brother, Mutt, were raised by their housekeeper, Miss Ella Rain, who loved the motherless boys like her own. Hiring her to take care of Waverly Hall and the boys was the only good thing their abusive and alcoholic father ever did.

When his brother escapes from a mental hospital and an old girlfriend appears with her son and a black eye, Tucker is forced to return home and face the agony of his tragic past.

Though Miss Ella has been gone for many years, Tucker can still hear her voice--and her prayers. "Life is a battle, but you can't fight it with your fists. You got to fight it with your heart." But finding peace and starting anew will take a measure of grace that Tucker scarcely believes in.

Perfect for readers who love emotionally rich novels with themes of faith, resilience, and redemption, Wrapped in Rain is a tender, powerful story that lingers long after the final page.

I really wanted to like this book but it is poorly written. The author has attempted to use prose that is poetic but comes across so contrived. The plot is silly and not the least bit realistic. The has attempted to write about child abuse without having a clue how sad and horrifying it truly is.

To those who think this book cliche and poorly researched, I shake my head and thumb through this book to point out every word that is, in fact, researched. Threaded intricately with deep conversations and innocent childhood memories, this book is a treasure chest. In the event of a disaster, I would grab this book and carry it out with me. Hats off, Charles Martin.
