Wow! What an absolutely beautiful and inspirational novel by the highly talented author, Tricia Downing.
Chance for Rain is an emotional romance novel that brings readers to new heights and raises the bar for the genre.
In it, we have Rainey, who survived a deadly car crash and was seriously injured and was left as a paraplegic. Navigating life in a wheelchair has not stopped the spirited athletic Rainey as she participates in extreme sports like skiing and race car driving. She has spent years helping and devoted to her widowed father, her career, her friends, and of course her love of sports. Rainey decides to get involved with online dating when she meets a special guy named Brian. They hit it off online, but she doesn’t know how he will respond to her being a “wheelie girl.”
Chance for Rain by Tricia Downing has hit it out of the park for me. I loved the dialogue and online correspondence between Rainey and Brian. It was written with skill and creativity flowing from our debut author, Tricia Downing’s mind, heart and spirit. I absolutely could not put this book down and picked it up at every chance I got.
