Introduction

Marketing maven Kate Sherwood's world is fast-paced, challenging, and always changing. The last thing she wants to do is slow down to a crawl at Rainbow's End, a dilapidated resort in the Texas Hill Country. But she cannot deny her ailing grandmother's request to visit the place where she and her deceased husband spent one glorious week (albeit fifty years ago). There Kate meets Greg Vange, the resort's handyman. But there's more to Greg than meets the eye--billions more, in fact, as he recently sold his successful software company and is at the resort in search of what's next for his life.

Kate isn't looking for romance, but she can't deny the sparks of attraction that fly every time she and Greg are together. She even starts to see potential in the rundown resort. Could there be a future there? Or will Kate's long-sought promotion take her back to the big city?

Amanda Cabot invites readers to step away from the pressures of the daily grind. They might be surprised by what they find at Rainbow's End.

Excerpt

CHAPTER 1

Discussion Questions

1. The last thing Kate wants is to spend a month in a run-down resort, and yet she agrees to go because she loves her grandmother. What have you done for a loved one that had unexpectedly good results?

2. Kate forms an incorrect first impression of Greg based on what he’s doing when she arrives at Rainbow’s End. Have you ever let first impressions lead you in the wrong direction? What happened?

3. Greg feels as if he’s been led to Rainbow’s End. When you’ve felt God’s hand leading you, did you resist as Greg did initially? What happened?

4. Kate claims she’s not a workaholic. Do you think she is? Why or why not? Would you have agreed to do so much work on your vacation? Why or why not?

5. Do you agree with Greg’s decision not to tell people about his past, specifically the fact that he was the owner of a successful software company? Why or why not?

6. Why do you think Kate had so much trouble finding a creative way to promote Aunt Ida’s peanut butter? What, if anything, do you think she could have done differently that would have made the process easier?

7. The Bible relates a number of instances when God sends messages through dreams. Do you believe Greg’s dreams were a sign from God? Why or why not?

8. Even though she no longer lives there, Kate is deeply attached to her grandmother’s house. Why do you think that’s the case?

9. Greg’s relationship with his father has colored his whole life. How do you think his life would have differed if he’d had a loving father?

10. Drew isn’t the most likeable of characters. What forces do you think shaped him? Do you believe he can change?

11. Do you agree with Sally’s reasoning when she turns down Roy’s proposal? Why or why not?

12. What do you think Kate and Greg will be doing five years after the story ends?
