My thoughts ~

Behold A Rainbow is the continuing story of the Cameron women from the first book in the series, The Sandpiper. Haunting memories of their dearly departed friend, Nina Judd, bestow beautiful shadows from the past. This book could be read as a stand alone, but I highly recommend reading The Sandpiper first as it creates the background for the characters depicted in Behold A Rainbow, and is a powerful book in its own right.

I fell in love with the characters introduced in the first book of this series, and my sentiments for each of them only grew throughout this sequel. Each of the characters is so well defined that I feel as if I know them personally. Their relationships with one another are authentic and credible. Each of the Cameron women deals with her own brittle issues that could potentially destruct any one of them. Very distressing issues are broached in this series with honesty and resourcefulness. 

The location for this series is majestic! A year-round cottage set on Lake Michigan in West Michigan is a breathtaking setting! Beautifully described in picturesque and vivid detail I felt right at home in this familiar place. I've spent a great deal of time in this alluring community, and the author brings the area to life. I highly recommend this book for its candor, impressive description and honest approach to difficult topics. Be sure to read both The Sandpiper and Behold A Rainbow! I will be reading this series again!
