I'm usually not a fan of Christian fiction, but I have to say that this one will take your breath away. I received it as an ARC and when it arrived is when I noticed the genre it belonged in. I took a chance and I'm very glad I did. Billy Coffey is what I would call a magical author. There is something about his writing that makes you want to open up your mind that the world has endless possibilities. He makes you want to believe that certain events in our life happen for a reason. I believed that to begin with, but it seems more reinforced coming from the words of this author. Does that make sense? I'm not sure if I am making sense. His writing makes you hang on to every word he writes.

In this book Leah and her family are new to the town of Mattingly. Mattingly is a very small close knit town in the south that take care of their own and eye "away people" with suspicion and caution. Leah receives an beautiful wooden easel as a birthday present from one of the towns oldest resident, Barney. Leah starts to paint on this easel and her painting begin to foretell events that are coming towards the people and the town. She claims that The Rainbow Man is telling her what to paint. Some of the town folks look at Leah and believe, while others look at her as some sort of devil who needs to get up and leave town. I don't want to give to much away but I just have to say that those who had lost their faith find it in the end.
