Full Description
Two converging mysteries compel a woman's search for the truth in a captivating novel about loss, love, family, and healing by the USA Today bestselling author of When We Believed in Mermaids.
Biographer Ellie Connor is in Gideon, Texas, to research blues singer Mabel Beauvais who, on the verge of fame, mysteriously disappeared more than forty years ago. Gideon holds another mystery for Ellie. It's the truth about her parents—a restless mother who died young and a father she never knew. They are an unsettled piece of Ellie's own past. Somewhere in this town is the answer to both of her quests.
No one is more accommodating than charismatic Laurence "Blue" Reynard, a local with deep roots in Gideon. Sexy and charming, he's also getting under Ellie's skin like a smooth jazz rhythm. Yet beneath his seductive facade is a soul damaged by loss. Tragic, wanting, and beautiful. So wrong for a woman just passing through town. If only his passion and vulnerability weren't so irresistible.
As Ellie pieces together Mabel's puzzling life and that of her father, Blue takes the surprising journey with her. What then for Ellie? Follow her instincts and say goodbye, or follow her heart?
Revised edition: This edition of In the Midnight Rain includes editorial revisions.
