Summer Rain Book Review

Synopsis:

Sixteen-year-old Summer McClain seemingly has it all—a doting mother and father, two best friends who stick closer than glue, and a grandmother who can cook the pants off any chef who dares to go up against her. Her world is perfect in every way—until tragedy strikes the core of her family.

When Summer thinks the worst thing in her life has happened, she’s dealt more blows that make her question her young faith. Her two best friends, who should be there to love her through her devastation, have personal issues of their own, and on top of that, a girl at school starts bullying her for no reason. Will Summer be able to withstand the heartache, pain, and pressure she has to endure?

In her debut novel, Summer Rain, Cherlisa Starks Richardson has woven together a gripping novel that shows the faith even a child must have to endure when challenged with the pain life sometimes presents.

My Review:

I received a free copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review. “Summer Rain” is a wonderful story of faith, strength and trusting God even during the darkest moments of life.  It also dealt with many teen issues, like bullying and bulimia.

This book puts you on an emotional ride.  You feel Summer’s pain as she strives to pick up the pieces of her life that’s left after her father’s death.  Every time she thought she had as much as she could handle, something else would happen.  Although quite emotional, this is a great novel for any Christian Fiction fan, as it teaches us about forgiveness and God’s love.
