Wonderful, simply wonderful. A story of love, healing, and forgiveness sure to grip the heart of every reader. --Debbie Macomber, New York Times #1 bestselling author In a Drought, It's the Darkest Cloud That Brings Hope It's 1954 and Perla Long's arrival in the sleepy town of Wise, West Virginia, was supposed to go unnoticed. She just wants a quiet, safe place for her and her daughter, Sadie, where the mistakes of her past can stay hidden. But then drought comes to Wise, and Perla is pulled into the turmoil of a town desperately in need of a miracle. Casewell Phillips has resigned himself to life as a bachelor...until he meets Perla. She's everything he's sought in a woman, but he can't get past the sense that she's hiding something. As the drought worsens, Perla's unique gift divides the town in two, bringing both gratitude and condemnation, and placing the pair in the middle of a storm of anger and forgiveness, fear and faith. -- This debut novel is splendid. The story is genuine and heartfelt, with just a touch of the Divine. A story of forgiveness and reckoning, and realizing love does cover a multitude of sins. Thomas will be a go-to author after you read Miracle in a Dry Season. --Rachel Hauck, bestselling author of The Wedding Dress and Once Upon a Prince Charming, whimsical, and intelligently written, Miracle in a Dry Season is a beautiful debut novel! --Ann Tatlock, Christy-award winning author of Promises to Keep

This generational series takes place in the rural community of Wise, West Virginia, as Thomas tells sweet and satisfying stories of family and romance. (I received a free copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.) #AprilBookShowers #RuralSetting

West Virginia, 1954: Perla is unmarried-with-a-child when she moves to town, hoping to avoid stares + whispers. Her unexplainable talent (or curse?) for making food multiply only draws attention to her 'situation' when she keeps the town fed during a drought.

I love this setting (Appalachia!) + characters, which we follow as they age throughout the series. There are themes of forgiveness, second chances, judgment ✔️💯

Reread for #sequelseptember
