Gretchen Brink is an expert in telling little white lies.
Having grown up in a broken home, she is used to the
uncertainty life often brings. For over forty years, she has
accepted the unspeakable lie she has been living as truth.
Now as an adult, she has taken on the responsibility of
caring for her two blind sisters. If only she hadn't lost
her true love Sam many years ago. Perhaps her life would
have turned out much differently.
When a terrifying tornado hits, Gretchen's life quickly
unravels. An injured man with no memory is found lying in
her field. The same day, Gretchen's grown daughter Abby
returns home to announce the news of her unexpected
pregnancy. As Gretchen tries to help the stranger remember
his past while at the same time coming to terms with her
daughter's future, his irrefutable likeness to Sam causes
her to question who he may really be. Even Abby is drawn to
the amnesiac man who bears a striking resemblance to her
missing father Sam.
In an attempt to trigger the man's memory, Gretchen delves
into Sam's past by retelling the magical story of his
ancestor Hank Littlefoot, a native rainmaker. As Gretchen,
Abby, and Sam grow closer, it becomes even harder for them
to discern the truth from reality. With the hope for a
second chance to make things right, Gretchen is forced to
come face to face with the one little white lie that could
destroy everything she has ever loved.
THE TRUTH ABOUT LOVE & LIGHTNING is an unforgettable novel
that beautifully demonstrates the undeniable power of
forgiveness and the importance of family. The mystical
presence adds an intriguing dimension to the storyline
providing a smooth transition from the past to present. The
loving bond between Gretchen and her daughter Abby warms the
heart of the reader. Yet McBride's remarkable talent for
deftly portraying tender scenes of unconditional love
between Gretchen and her blind sisters makes this latest
release truly notable.
The Truth About Love and Lighting is a deliciously
emotional story of family, forgiveness, love, and magic from
Susan McBride.
A lie that Gretchen Brink told 40 years
ago comes back to haunt her when a tornado brings together

secrets are revealed, the ramifications will affect them all
in ways they never could have imagined.
