A Walk in the Rain
In this women’s fiction contemporary novel, set in the rainy, beautiful Pacific Northwest, the lives of four women blend in an unexpected way, as they help each other to get through difficult moments. It all starts with the mysterious disappearance of Miranda Henderson’s two valuable art objects, a Chihuly glass bowl and an abstract painting.
Miranda Henderson lives almost like a recluse after the death of her daughter Cassidy and husband Bob, trying to cope with life alone, when a chain of events changes her monotonous everyday life.
Liz Barton is Miranda’s neighbor, a successful and wealthy divorce lawyer. At thirty-eight years of age, she is very content with her life except that she wants a child before it becomes too late biologically. For two years she has tried dating, internet matching, and Prince Charming failed to materialize. Or did he?
Miranda’s good friend, Cindy Wallenstein, empty nester with two sons in college, is shocked when her husband of twenty-five years leaves her for a younger woman and she is served the divorce papers.
Allison Porter, the mysterious cousin from Kansas, at thirty-three decides to leave Wichita and come to Seattle to meet Miranda and start a new life.
This is the story of four women having to come to terms with the past, supporting each other, and making plans for the future. It is the story of friendship.

Good book, very engaging and a little bit of mystery. I liked the attention to local color and the story of the three friends.

Nice story
Overall a nice story. I had some problems with the story line jumping too much. Also the flow of sentences was awkward at times. I enjoyed it though. If you want a relaxing read, this book is nice

Very poor writing
This book is full of spelling, word use and grammatical errors. Weak story and no character development. Waste of time.

Great Women's Fiction
This is one of the best books I read in a long time. I just could not turn off my Kindle until the last page. Fortunately it was a long weekend and I didn't have to wake up early lol This is the story of four women friends, not a mystery book, but the story was alert and kept me curious to turn the page (or is swipe the page on Kindle lol) until the very end. I've read other women's fiction books in the past where the stories and problems of the main characters were almost identical. Not with this book thou. Each of the four women has her own different story. Some will find happiness and love, others will keep on living drawing strength and support from their friends. A very good book and well written story.

I enjoy reading this book tremendously. A well written women's friendship story set in the Seattle area. I could see the author knows this place well and the book has a lot of authentic local color. There is a bit of mystery, but do not expect this to be a mystery book. It is rather the story of four women that help each other cope with life problems and their search for happiness and eventually romance.

Very Nice Women's Fiction<\b>
Very original women's friendship story. Felt like a breath of fresh air. The story flows easily and kept my attention.

Don't waste your time.
I only read this because it looked interesting and it was free on Kindle Unlimited.
But the book was so poorly written and edited, that it was barely readable. The mystery is obvious. The characters' behaviors aren't believable, and there are plenty of gaps in the plot and logic. I can't believe this book has a 3.5 star rating...If I could have given it a negative rating, I would. Don't waste your time.

This was a sweet story but the writing left a lot to be desired. The spelling and grammatical errors were really distracting and disappointing.

A cute story but poorly edited and a little predictable.
