“But as I stood there, feeling the pain of unfulfilled dreams, all I could do was cry harder and harder, inconsolable as I thought about the uncertain future in front of me. My hot tears mingled with the cold rain and I shouted up into the sky---calling out for him, praying he would hear me somehow. I’m so sorry I let you go---I’m sorry I didn’t tell you! I love you!” (Quote from book)

As a little girl, Laci Kramer always found hope in the rain and believes that good things always follow it.

Can Laci’s faith help overcome the fear of what lies ahead in order to give Mitch her heart, or will she push him away to spare him from reliving a horrible tragedy in his past? 

Laci will lose hope in love, and life...until it rains.
Brad’s brother recently found the love of his life, and now he too longs to find his one.  No one seems to compare to his first love from years ago, though - the woman he left behind for money and a career.  To remind him of her love, though, on what would have been their wedding anniversary, Brad writes her a letter. Never mailed. Never read…until this year, after the storm ends.

Brad and Hannah will face both tragedy and loss as they rekindle their love, remembering that grace always follows the storm. ​
