A Gentle Rain by Deborah Smith
I like Deborah Smith’s books. She writes sweet stories that make you feel good but she fills with complex characters and interesting plots. Her latest books is no exception. Ben has been the sole provider for his down syndrome brother since his parents died when he was sixteen. Now an owner of a ranch in Florida, he employs the “unemployable”. His employees are autistic and mentally challenged individuals with big hearts and plenty of spirit. Kara, searching for a purpose in her life, happens upon the ranch and stays. Not a big story, there’s an illness, a romance, a conflict, all the ordinary ingredients of a book of this type but the book will make you think and should lighten your heart, if only for a little while.
