When Rain Comes Patricia G Maxwell

When Carolyn Wyngate arrived in Chula Vista on the California coast in August 1915, she finds her taxi service is a dusty truck driven by a handsome orchardist by the name of Nate. That warm summer afternoon, his dark brown hair had a light wind-swept wave and his brown eyes had an intensity that pierced the distance between them with perception and heart. He had ambition and was eager to introduce his hometown to the gorgeous new school teacher. Only Carrie was focused on her teaching career, and in hiding the pain of enormous losses in Chicago. No man, she vowed, would break through the wall she had built to protect her heart. No one could have predicted the flood that devastated the community a few months later. How do you start life again when something so unimaginable destroys what you've worked so hard to build. Carrie, Nate, and all of Chula Vista, will be put to the test. In the end, Carrie will have to let go of her past to begin again with Nate.
