Wrapped in Rain


Wrapped in Rain is one of the most beautiful written books I have ever read. It's one of those books that so good you don't want it to end. It is compelling, authentic story of humanity's good & evil. The characters are so strong, that I will carry this story & people with me for a long time.

Tucker Mason never received affection from his wealthy & abusive father. He has few happy memories of his childhood. Time spent with his half-brother, Mutt & his childhood girlfriend, Katie. Of course, Miss Ella, the housekeeper who was like a mother to him & the only secure source of love Tucker ever knew.

Tucker is now a world famous photographer & has done his best to leave his difficult, painful childhood behind him. But when Katie comes back into his life with her little boy, Jase & Mutt escapes from the mental hospital where he has lived for the past 8 years, Tucker realized that maybe there are some memories that can't nor shouldn't be, left behind. through the ever-present voice of Miss Ella, Tucker realizes he has a choice. He can continue to let his hatred, the sins of his father, control his life & the decisions he makes, or he can lay it down & choose the harder path of love & forgiveness.

Every day that you get up, you got to lay that anger down. Lay it down & walk away. Then one day, you'll wake up & forget it's there. Only the remnant remains. An empty shell. If you don't, it'll eat you up & you'll rot, from the inside out
