Showers in Season

With the first book in the Cedar Circle saga, Seasons Under Heaven, best-selling authors Beverly LaHaye and Terri Blackstock captured the affection of readers across the country. Now the story of the families who live on the small cul-de-sac continues, filled with new personal challenges and triumphs. Tory and Barry Sullivan do not plan to have a third child. The news that she is pregnant is a complete surprise. And when tests reveal that the unborn child has Down's Syndrome, Tory and Barry reel from shock. Barry grew up with a severely retarded brother. Does he want a disabled child of his own? As Barry proposes a decision that Tory finds abhorrent, their neighbors offer their prayers and love. Showers in Season focuses on a spiritual issue that is the subject of much contemporary debate. Ruth Ann Phimister's dramatic narration makes the Sullivan's dilemma even more immediate and heart-wrenching.
