I needed to think about this book for a few days before writing a review. As with all of this author's books, it is filled with love, tears, and tenderness. I have to admit I shed a few tears in places. The story takes place in Ohio on a farm. Rae has experienced some tragic circumstances in her past, not the least of which is the death of her daughter. She and her father barely cope with life. Enter Quinn, a high school senior kicked out of his house by his parents. Rae and her father take him

So Surprised!!!To be honest, the first 30 something pages were a little slow. I almost gave up. I’m so so glad I didn’t! This novel was BEAUTIFULLY written! The characters were so multi-layered and complex. They were so developed and detailed that you felt like you knew them all. There is happiness and peace after grief, trauma, and devastation, and this book will show you that while having you all in your feelings. I don’t want to spoil anything for those who haven’t read it yet, but I thought

This is a story that will stay with me a long, long time! I couldn't stop thinking about all of the characters after I closed the pages of this book.

I loved everything about this st...
Nice, Easy ReadWhile The Passing Storm reads like a Lifetime movie, and it is easy to figure out, it is, nonetheless, very entertaining and is well written. No graphic violence, sex, or language.
