The Beauty of Rain by Jamie Beck

Two devoted sisters at a tragic breaking point discover the beautiful and painful truths of being alive in a powerful novel by Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Jamie Beck.

Winning the lottery changed Amy Walsh’s life, but the cost was greater than she could bear. In the aftermath, she struggles to find joy and purpose. Only one thing feels certain now—she will never spend one cent of the prize money on herself.

Worried, her older sister, Kristin DeMarco, invites Amy to live with her family while she heals. Unfortunately, this arrangement leads to trouble for Kristin: Divided focus affects her career. Her daughter prefers Amy to her. And Amy’s unsolicited opinions provoke tension between Kristin and her husband.

Meanwhile, Amy is making drastic plans of her own, which include giving away all her money. But first she must convince Kristin not to squander her most valuable asset—time with her family.

As the sisters help each other reimagine their futures, life’s unpredictability sends them to surprising places that test their love and resilience. Will they learn to live in the now, before it’s too late?

Reviews by the Wicked Reads Review Team

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is a very moving book – and I had to explain to some colleagues on Teams why my eyes were a little puffy as I did have a bit of a cry over this story. I don't often comment about what I might think would upset people, but this is an emotional read, and so I would suggest that you read the blurb before you start. I think it is well written and it felt written from the heart.

Jamie Beck has done a wonderful job of considering a number of people's points of view and how the dynamics in this situation may play out. It is a tight rope of a story, and I was drawn deeply and affected by the content. I hope that you also find it a worthwhile read.
