"Martin spins an engaging story about healing and the triumph of love . . . Filled with delightful local color." --Publishers Weekly"Charles Martin writes with the passion and delicacy of a Louisiana sunrise--shades of shepherd's warning and a promise of thunderbolts before noon." --John Dyson, Reader's DigestFrom the New York Times bestselling author of The Mountain Between Us and The Water Keeper comes a story of two half-brothers trying to survive the fallout of their traumatic childhood and their abusive, alcoholic father in this tender and beautiful story about the power of forgiveness.On a sprawling Southern estate, Tucker and his younger brother, Mutt, were raised by their housekeeper, Miss Ella Rain, who loved the motherless boys like her own.

"Life is a battle, but you can't fight it with your fists. You got to fight it with your heart." But finding peace and starting anew will take a measure of grace that Tucker scarcely believes in.Wrapped in Rain follows Tucker's journey from brokenness to healing through the everlasting power of love. Grab a copy and a box of tissues and get ready for your heart to be touched.
