Official synopsis Publisher
“Martin spins an engaging story about healing and the triumph of love . . . Filled with delightful local color.” –Publishers Weekly
“Charles Martin writes with the passion and delicacy of a Louisiana sunrise–shades of shepherd’s warning and a promise of thunderbolts before noon.” –John Dyson, Reader’s Digest
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Mountain Between Us and The Water Keeper comes a story of two half-brothers trying to survive the fallout of their traumatic childhood and their abusive, alcoholic father in this tender and beautiful story about the power of forgiveness.
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.
Wrapped in Rain follows Tucker’s journey from brokenness to healing through the everlasting power of love. Grab a copy and a box of tissues and get ready for your heart to be touched.
