Wrapped in Rain is a sentimental tale that is not to be missed." -Michael Morris, author of A Place Called Wiregrass and Live Like You Were Dying"This is the story of a real person?s real struggle with the uncertainties of faith, unadorned with miracles of the deus ex machina sort but full of the sort of miracles that attend everyday life if you bother to notice. Charles Martin notices, and for that I commend him. He?s unafraid of tackling the crucial questions-life, death, love, sacrifice." -Duncan Murrell, editor and writerIncludes discussion questions for book clubs A fifteenth anniversary note from the author A bonus excerpt from Martin?s novel The Water KeeperAbout the AuthorCharles Martin is the New York Times bestselling author of fifteen novels.
