April's Hope by Robert Elmer

April showers bring May flowers as the saying goes, but Charlotte and her family have had enough rain. When heavy rains flood the watershed area of Heather Creek, the family joins together to help the neighbors out. When Charlotte is injured lifting a sand bag, the open house being planned is presumed to be put on the back burner. Christopher is busy forecasting the weather and building his weather station. Sam has noticed classmate Arielle and struggles with how to ask her for a date, or if he even should. Emily has a birthday coming up which again reminds everyone of the loss of their mother and daughter. One more chapter in the life of the Stevenson family, you are sure to enjoy it. Sandy Penton.
