In a Drought, It's the Darkest Cloud
That Brings Hope
It's 1954 and Perla Long's arrival in the sleepy town of Wise, West
Virginia, was supposed to go unnoticed. She just wants a quiet,
safe place for her and her daughter, Sadie, where the mistakes of
her past can stay hidden. But then drought comes to Wise, and Perla
is pulled into the turmoil of a town desperately in need of a
miracle.
Casewell Phillips has resigned himself to life as a
bachelor...until he meets Perla. She's everything he's sought in a
woman, but he can't get past the sense that she's hiding something.
As the drought worsens, Perla's unique gift divides the town in
two, bringing both gratitude and condemnation, and placing the pair
in the middle of a storm of anger and forgiveness, fear and
faith.

This debut novel is splendid. The story is genuine and
heartfelt, with just a touch of the Divine. A story of forgiveness
and reckoning, and realizing love does cover a multitude of sins.
Thomas will be a go-to author after you read Miracle in a Dry
Season.

Wedding Dress and Once Upon a Prince
Charming, whimsical, and intelligently written, Miracle in a
