Today we are celebrating the publication of Jamie Beck's latest novel, The Beauty of Rain. The story sounds so interesting and we are loving the cover. Thanks to BookSparks, we have one copy to give away!
When Amy Walsh won the lottery, she thought things were finally looking up. But when tragedy strikes shortly after, she struggles to continue and only knows one thing for certain: she’s not spending the money on herself.
Concerned, Amy’s older sister Kristin invites Amy to live with her while she tries to recover. Unfortunately, this creates complications for Kristin – she’s not focused enough on her career, her daughter prefers Amy, and Amy’s well-intentioned but ultimately unwanted advice cause tensions to rise between her and her husband.
All the while, Amy is making drastic plans that include giving away all her money, but before she can do that, she wants to ensure that Kristin understands the importance of spending time with her family. The sisters must help each other reimagine their futures, even in the face of unpredictable obstacles, so that they can learn to live fully and without regrets. (See the bottom of this post for trigger warnings.)
