Rainwater by Sandra Brown

The year is 1934. Ella Barron runs a boarding house and is taking care of her autistic son, Solly. When David Rainwater requests lodging, Ella is faced with change in her life, and those around her. A riveting story of survival during the lean years, of prejudice, and hope. Brown detours from her usual story line to offer a great little novel. Well worth the read. Sandy Penton
