“Small towns have big stories.” That was a lesson Katie’s
father taught her years ago. A lesson she’s taken to heart. And right now,
Katie is desperate for a big story. Reeling from the recent loss of her father
and with her agent breathing down her neck for the next book, the
twenty-one-year-old writer picks a spot on the map and finds herself bound for
a middle-of-nowhere town called Bishopville, South Carolina.

Taking a chance on the words of a local grocer, Katie
stumbles upon a rare breed of dogs raised by the town doctor and his nephew
Kyle. The only problem? Kyle isn’t interested in telling stories—especially not
to a big-city girl who can’t seem to sit still. In an attempt to win him over
as the clock winds down, Katie finds herself immersed in Kyle’s world, doing
everything but writing.

When inspiration finally strikes, Katie is faced with an
unforeseen catastrophe and a truth she can no longer ignore. While she has come
to love the dogs, the real story may be about Kyle Walker.

From where Katie stood, they looked down on what appeared
to be an empty pasture. A myriad of different trees surrounded it. The land was
flat, and quiet. Yet, it almost felt as if all of nature were crowded in around
it just waiting for something to happen.

That’s when Katie saw him. He was several hundred
feet away, so it was too far to be certain, but it looked like the outline of
the same man she’d seen earlier. 

At first, he was alone as he walked out of a small clearing
and into the open field, but seconds later the first dog appeared. He was
slightly bigger than the rest, who followed in pairs. By her count there were
fifteen dogs, and not once did they break formation, stopping a few paces in
front of the man.

When I received the invite to participate in the Blog
Tour of ‘Hope In Every Raindrop’ I immediately found myself being drawn to this
story. It sounded very interesting and I signed up as soon as I could.

In ‘Hope In Every Raindrop’ we meet Katie Price. Katie is
a writer who recently lost her father and with that her inspiration to write
stories. With her agent calling regularly and pushing her to write another
story, Katie is desperate to be able to write again. When Katie finds a gift
from her mother to her father from years ago, she decides to take a gamble and
to take a trip. After days of driving Katie finds herself in the little town of
Bishopville, South Carolina. Without having a real plan for what she is going to
do there, Katie decides to take the jump and visit the land, a local grocer
told her about.  There Katie tumbles upon
a rare breed of dogs raised by the an old man and his nephew Kyle. From the
moment Katie sees these dogs and their trainer Kyle, she knows she has found
her story.

Although I was drawn to this book from the moment I read
about it, I didn’t really know what I could expect. But from the moment I
started reading this book I just knew I was going to love it.

This book begins very slowly, with an introduction into
the life of Katie, a struggling young writer. Not bad slow, it perfectly fits
the story and makes you wonder about the rest of this book.

Wesley Banks wrote a beautiful story and I loved the way
he wrote everything so clearly. Especially the way he describes the dogs, every
dog comes to life in this book and it’s just beautiful. Somehow this book
almost felt like an fairytale to me, with the ‘magic’ of those special dogs, the
sweet old Doc who took Katie in from the moment she arrived on his doorstep,
and Kyle, the mysterious and passionate guy who really has a gift with dogs.

There is definitely some very nice romance going on in
this book. It’s a sweet romance, very enjoyable to read and it definitely makes
you feel those butterflies. But the romance is not the most important part of
this book. This book is much more about hope and trying to find a way in life. And
it’s just a beautiful story, which I couldn’t get enough of.

This book is definitely one I will be thinking of for a
long time. It’s beautiful and I loved it all the way.

Wesley Banks was born in 1983 and grew up on the west
coast of Florida. He graduated from the University of Florida with a Bachelor’s
and Master’s degree in Civil Engineering. After spending over 7 years building
movable bridges from Florida to Washington he decided to focus on his true
passion: writing.

Wesley recently moved from Florida to Oregon to get back
to the great outdoors that he’s love so much. He lives with my wife Lindsey,
and his two dogs Linkin and Story. Most of his time these days is spent
writing, with as much rock climbing, hiking, or skiing as they can fit in.
