The year is 1934. With the country in the stranglehold of drought and economic depression, Ella Barron runs her Texas boardinghouse with an efficiency that ensures her life will be kept in balance. Between chores of cooking and cleaning for her residents, she cares for her 10-year-old son, Solly, a sweet but challenging child whose misunderstood behavior finds Ella on the receiving end of pity, derision, and suspicion.

Best novel by Sandra Brown
Revisado: 05-21-16
I've long been a fan of Ms. Brown's. But when I read Rainwater, I was at once aware that this novel was very different from her usual style. I loved it. I was moved to tears and filled with joy. It is a lovely story and I would recommend it highly. The narrator, Mr. Slezak, did a wonderful, poignant, and sensitive oral presentation. Truly a beautiful story.

This is the first book I've read by Cristina Baker Kline. It will not be my last. What a beautifully written story! Excellent character development and very insightful. I believe Ms. Kline must be a very extraordinary person.

Never a miss with Ms. Spencer
Revisado: 08-13-12
Would you listen to Separate Beds again? Why?
I have read this book twice, and listened to it once already. I will definitely keep it in my library to listen again. LaVyrle has such a gift in portraying the thoughts and emotions that we all struggle with. It is very easy to relate to her characters.
What other book might you compare Separate Beds to and why?
I would compare Separate Beds probably to BitterSweet in that it portrays that with each perfect love, there are also choices to make, and unfortunately, pain for oneself and others.
What about Liz Dykhouse’s performance did you like?
Ms. Dykhouse was very consistent with her character portrayals and sensitive in her character insight.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I owuld have loved to listen to this in one sitting.....during breaks for other "life activities" I would mull over the story in my head so that I could pick up where I left off.
Any additional comments?
Any of LaVyrle Spencer's books are definitly worth reading. She captures real life emotions and thoughts as no other contemporary writer. Her books are classics.
