In a Drought, It's the Darkest Cloud
That Brings Hope
It's 1954 and Perla Long's arrival in the sleepy town of Wise, West Virginia, was supposed to go unnoticed. She just wants a quiet, safe place for her and her daughter, Sadie, where the mistakes of her past can stay hidden. But then drought comes to Wise, and Perla is pulled into the turmoil of a town desperately in need of a miracle.
Casewell Phillips has resigned himself to life as a bachelor...until he meets Perla. She's everything he's sought in a woman, but he can't get past the sense that she's hiding something. As the drought worsens, Perla's unique gift divides the town in two, bringing both gratitude and condemnation, and placing the pair in the middle of a storm of anger and forgiveness, fear and faith.

I love how the author used the theme of grace and
forgiveness throughout the book.Is forgiveness so unattainable that Perla and
Sadie will never find peace? Will they continue to run away from the past and
find themselves to be outcasts wherever they go? "Miracle in a Dry
Season" carries a strong message about the need to forgive each other and
ourselves. It is a deeply moving story which pulls the reader in and holds
their interest through the final chapter. I highly recommend this book! I
really enjoyed reading this book. For being a debut novel, it was wonderful!
