Because of the Rain by Deborah Raney
4.0
Stars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4 stars)
Read: March 2024
Format: Kibdle eBook
Challenge Prompt: CNL’s #24 of 50 - “that is considered Women’s Fiction”
Book #30 of 2024: This is my fourth book by this author. It’s a difficult subject matter with a 45 year-old woman being raped while on a trip. The author does not go into detail which I appreciated. If that wasn’t enough, she subsequently learns that she is pregnant with the rapist’s baby because her husband had a vasectomy many years before.
The novel follows them through the aftermath of the trauma (physical and mental), learning of the pregnancy and what to do, dealing with their decision against abortion, whether to let the child be adopted, etc. Everyone is affected in one way or another and I felt the author handled it realistically. The story showed how God can bring good out of every situation. We just give it to him and trust even when it’s hard.
The beautiful ending had me tearing up. This book was about so much more than an assault. It’s about the human experience, the struggles, the questions and doubts, and God’s redemptive plan. I recommend this book.
