In the heart of a sprawling Southern estate, Tucker and his younger brother, Mutt, were raised by their housekeeper, Miss Ella Rain, who loved them as if they were her own. Their father, an abusive and alcoholic man, was the only good thing he ever did for them by hiring Miss Ella to take care of Waverly Hall and the boys. However, when Mutt escapes from a mental hospital and an old girlfriend appears with her son and a black eye, Tucker is forced to return home and face the agony of his tragic past.

Though Miss Ella has been gone for many years, Tucker can still hear her voice—and her prayers. Life is a battle, but you cannot fight it with your fists. You have to fight it with your heart. But finding peace and starting anew will take a measure of grace that Tucker scarcely believes in.

Wrapped in Rain follows Tucker's journey from brokenness to healing through the everlasting power of love. This standalone contemporary Christian fiction novel (approx. 85,000 words) is also by Charles Martin, the author of The Record Keeper, The Mountain Between Us, When Crickets Cry, and Chasing Fireflies.

However, Miss Ella's prayers continue to guide him, and he begins to see the beauty in life again. He reconnects with his brother, Mutt, and they work together to rebuild their relationship and their lives. Through the power of forgiveness and the love of others, Tucker is able to find peace and start anew.
