Books with title Sometimes When it Rains

One night changed my life forever. Beau Bennett has been my best friend since I can remember. He was my first crush before everything came crashing down, and now he wants more, but it's more than I can give him. Things are different now. I wish I could tell him why, but I can't. I haven't told anyone. I never knew how much I really needed him until the day he left for college, and I was completely alone. Then one day, Asher Hunt rides into town with his dark, captivating eyes and cocky grin. He doesn't care who I used to be, he's simply breathing life into what's left. People warn me to stay away from him, but he helps me forget the pain that has held me hostage for so long; something I thought was impossible before he walked into my life. I've been hurt. I've been saved. And I've found hope. I thought my story was written that night, but now I know it was only a new beginning. Until one secret turns my world upside down... Again.

Here in the Northwest of the United States and Canada we learn to live with the rains that keep our homes and communities so green and beautiful. But, for children, our rainy weather can sometimes dampen the spirit and make some days a little difficult. Here is a book for those rainy days. We hope that those who read this book and share it with others can feel our sense of wonder and enjoyment when "Sometimes it Rains." This book grew from a collaboration between a writer of verse and an artist working just outside of Seattle, Washington. Together we have shared the joy of children and grandchildren who act as our Muses. This is our first book and with luck we hope to provide many more. Paul DuFresne is a recently retired banker who also had a thirty year career in law enforcement.

“Would you believe me if I told you I was dead? I guess the better question is, would you believe how it happened?”Abuse and loss are all Nala know, but she knows better than to let it get the best of her.

Told from Nala’s point of view, When It Rains tells the short and not-so-sweet life story of a young woman whose constant search for light in a dark world became her detriment.

It was pity that first made Dannie speak to him. She had known Ryan since she was a kid, but he had always been the popular Golden Boy, and she had always been the tomboy that didn’t mind not having any friends. It was odd, she had thought, that all the popular kids who had once kissed the ground he walked on, didn’t so much spared him a glance anymore, and it was this that made her sit with him that one faithful day and begin something that would only end up causing her pain.
