When I Needed You
Susan Rodgers' writing masterfully explores the pain that can lie just beneath the surface. She opens up conversations about guilt, healing, and acceptance — and reminds us how much peace is waiting just beyond those talks.
- Brandon Lorimer, The East Magazine
Some wounds never heal.
Ricky Raines was once a typical twelve-year-old boy. One evening when he was supposed to be watching his little sister, the unthinkable happened. Ricky has since spent his entire life paying for a single mistake.
Fast forward to a simple fundraising luncheon, where Dallas White and his friend Jessie Wheeler are the featured performers. It only takes their security, Matt Kelly, a moment to fall under the spell of their first song, a ballad — a ballad that Jessie wrote for Matt.
It only takes a moment to let down one's guard. And some moments can change a life forever.
Just ask Ricky Raines.

About the author
Susan Rodgers
23 books34 followersWell, I used to be a museum curator but now I'm a writer and a filmmaker! Don't ever let anyone tell you that you can't do what you want in life - my mantra is 'if you believe it, you can achieve it!'
The Drifters Series was supposed to start out as three books but has expanded to fifteen. The Dallas White Series is growing, and I just completed my first feature film, Still The Water. My mother always said I had my head in the clouds - I guess she was right! I do love to 'imagine,' and am now working on a new book (Dallas, three) and a new screenplay (Kristian's Cross). Oh, and did I tell you the Drifters series has been optioned for television? Can't wait to see where that lands!
I live with my partner Stephen and my striped cat Oliver (Lucy Maud Montgomery once said the only good cat is a striped cat!) in Summerside, Prince Edward Island, Canada, and I make frequent trips to Vancouver to visit my son Christopher and his sweet puppy, Winston.
"Music has the power to heal" - music, a great cuppa joe...and maybe love...
