HUMP DAY POTPOURRI: WAITING ON “AFTER THE RAIN” — SEPT. 19

Welcome to another Hump Day Potpourri, featuring Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Jill, at Breaking the Spine.

Today I’m excited by an upcoming book from one of my favorite authors, Karen White.  After the Rain will be released around December 31, 2012.

But no one in Walton plans on making things easy for Suzanne. For one thing, it’s a town where everyone knows everyone else—and they all seem intent on making Suzanne feel right at home. For another, Suzanne can’t help but feel drawn to this tight-knit community—or to the town’s mayor, Joe Warner, and his six kids. But Suzanne can’t afford to stick around, even if she’s finally found a place where she belongs. Because someone is looking for her—someone who won’t stop until her life is destroyed…
