The Storm

by Greta Gorsuch

Cecilia Hunter lives in Sunflower, a little town under the big West Texas sky. She runs a home health care business for the elderly. Cecilia visits her clients, cleans their houses, and helps them run errands. At the end of the day, she visits sweet Mrs. Lee, who tells her in a strange voice that “a storm is coming.”

That night while driving home, Cecilia encounters a desert storm. Terrible wind and rain force her off the road for a while. But in the days that follow, Cecilia sees another storm brewing. Mrs. Lee’s son and his family are moving back to Sunflower. This should be happy news. But Mrs. Lee’s granddaughter Anita is acting strangely. Something is wrong.

And then the real storm comes, beginning with a terrible fire. Will Cecilia and the Lee family ever be the same?

This book is wonderful not only for ESL students but any adult learning reader. Short declarative sentences, short paragraphs and short chapters make it very approachable. Not only is there ample white space on the beginning and ending pages of each chapter, there are 9 blank pages in the back for note taking and new vocabulary lists to use for later review. Thank you for a review copy which did not influence my review.
