A Walk In The Rain (Seattle 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.
