Women's Fiction Contemporary

Former TV weatherman Andy Dunne has watched his life implode. His wife left him (taking everything but one bar stool), he's now working on satellite radio and his long- time silent love/crush on Hillary Hsing isn't going anywhere.

As he begins to take some pride in ownership of his empty home -- the baseboards are really clean -- Andy auditions for a children's show at Hillary's urging. It's supposed to be a joke, but he could never have foreseen how his life would flip around when he gets the part. The show is a hit, and Andy becomes suddenly popular. Women approach him in bars, his career is shooting straight up and yet, he can't get over Hillary. Married Hillary. Lost to him Hillary.

TWO YEARS, NO RAIN traps you in its pages, deftly twining words until you can't bear to leave. It's not an adrenalin- fueled race or laced with mystery -- unless you count the mystery of who we are as people. How we think and confront challenges. How much we drink when life seems to keep tossing typhoons our way. A subtle, intriguing pull will keep you pinned to the pages. An excellent read.

SUMMARY

An earnest journey from heartache to heartthrob and all the emotions along the way; at once an old-fashioned love story and a cautionary tale of self-reinvention.

In San Diego County, it hasn’t rained in 580 days. But for weatherman Andy Dunne, everything else is changing fast… Only a few weeks ago, he was a newly divorced, slightly overweight meteorologist for an obscure satellite radio station, hiding his secret love for a colleague, the beautiful—and very much married—Hillary Hsing. But nearly overnight, Andy has landed a new gig, flying a magic carpet in a bizarre live-action children’s TV show. So what is affable, basically decent Andy Dunne going to do now that he can do practically anything he wants? With a parade of hot moms begging for his autograph and a family that needs his help more than ever, Andy has a lot of choices. First, though, there’s this thing with Hillary, their heated text messages, a long-awaited forecast for rain – and a few other surprises he never saw coming…
