A very different venue for a love story from Sandra Brown. She deals with several subjects in the book - the Depression, racial prejudice and autism among them -- in a very caring and compassionate way. A good book which I really enjoyed.

A very different book by Sandra Brown, but also very moving. This book is different from what she has been writing for the past 20 years. She was unsure how it would be accepted by her fans. I not only accepted it, I loved it! It shows she is an excellent storyteller.

Not at all like Sandra Brown's other books of romance and intrigue, which I absolutely love. Another I'll add to my keeper shelf. I loved it!

Sandra Brown is one of my favorite authors. I was hesitant at first to read this book since it is different from what she usually writes. But I'm glad I read it. I learned a few things reading this book.

I liked this story about hard-tackle life in Texas in the Depression. I like fiction that weaves in historical facts so that I learn something. These characters seemed real for the 30's and its prim and proper boarding house times.

Never read a Sandra Brown book before, so I can't comment on this not being her typical kind of book. I really liked this one. It was an easy read, but the thing that I liked the most was that the characters really drew me in. I found myself wanting to get back to the book when I wasn't reading it.

This is different than most Sandra Brown books. Her forward said she wrote this book between 2 others and was homesick for it when not writing it. Quick, easy and enjoyable read.

"Rainwater" captured me from the first page, and held my attention all the way through. A very different Sandra Brown book, but a nice departure. Gives the reader much to think about along the journey, with surprises along the way. Highly recommend.

A beautiful story illustrating love in its various forms in a hardscrabble community during the Depression. Restrained in its writing style and historically interesting. Brought on tears at the end. Highly recommended even if you're not normally drawn to romantic suspense (which this really is not but which Brown is known for).
