"Thunder and Rain" is an enjoyable read by Charles Martin. Sometimes it seemed a little sappy and unrealistic but I thoroughly enjoyed the characters; their morals, integrity and relate ability. I loved the letters to God, written by Hope. What a great way to tell her side of the story! I also loved the way Mr. Martin told the story without hitting you over the head with religion but with a great dose of faith.

If you are looking for a nice read, one that will make you cry, laugh and delivers some suspense, you just found your next book. This is an old fashioned love story and one you will enjoy.
