Following Her Rainbow: The Strong Women Series, Book 2

by Lyla Davis

Molly Walker knows the pain of loss all too well.

Her dreams of motherhood were shattered when her little girl was stillborn. Molly and her husband, Waylon, learn quickly that grief can be life-altering, as they find their marriage at a crossroads. Should they remain married in hopes of finding a way back to each other, or part ways before things continue on a downward spiral?

Owen West is no stranger to grief himself after losing his wife two years ago. He is raising his little boy, Oliver, on his own. Owen is afraid to put himself out there, knowing that loving again means he must let go of his fear that history will repeat itself. Is loving someone else worth the risk of losing them, just like he did before?

After a chance meeting in the park one afternoon, Molly and Owen find a friendship that offers the healing they both desperately need, each in their own way. When that friendship turns into something more, Molly’s past creeps up, causing her to rethink her feelings for Owen.

Can they find their way through the storms of their past in order to find the possibility of happiness together?

[Audrey Adkins · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a really good book. It is a story about Molly and Waylon and the struggles they face after the loss of a child. It's a reminder that not everyone grieves the same and that we can't give in to our inner demons. It's a story of love, loss, and second chances. It will grip your heart and live in your head forever. A definite five-star read.

This second book in The Strong Women series starts with Molly, who is giving birth to her first child. Her daughter is unfortunately stillborn. This devastes Molly and her husband. The plot progresses through Molly dealing with her grief, how her husband deals with his and the consequences of those actions, and her friendship with Owen, a man she meets at a local park, who is a widower with a small son. Happy and uplifting ending to a book that deals with heavy topics.

This is a wonderfully therapeutic read. This story is about a woman who stands against the storm that is loss and finds the love she always wanted.
