SANDI SHILHANEK | WHAT DO YOU THINK MAKES A BOOK A HISTORICAL?
This week I have been reading Rainwater by Sandra Brown. By Wikipedia’s definition historical romance is anything set before World War II. As I’ve read Rainwater I couldn’t help but feel that I was not reading a historical book, but one that could just as easily happen today.I almost passed on reading Rainwater because of the historical label that it has…I don’t mind historicals, and have in fact read a few in my day, but no longer read them as a part of my regular reading pattern. Had I passed on this title I would have missed a book that I have been enjoying.

Sandi, I too have just finished this book and thought the same thing about history repeating itself as far as the economy..
But I loved this story and i was glad I read it..It was a very different book from Sandra..Very moving.
