This starts out slow, then is briefly interesting once the affairs and lightning strikes begin. It quickly tapers off again, though. I wish I had given up on this instead of finishing it. The characters themselves are tedious and their inner dialogue is pointless. There is nothing to distinguish the characters from each other, as they all think the same things over and over. There is no lesson to be learned or redeeming quality in this. Not worth reading.

3.5 stars. It held my interest, but these people have no idea how to communicate. I wanted to shake them. But I was sorry when the book ended, so that has to mean something.

Suzanne Matson writes a thinly plotted, simple story of a high school teacher, Greg, and his wife, Patty. Greg gets involved with Tim Phelps, a poor student dying to play football. After getting his father to agree Greg allows the team to practice during a thunderstorm. When tragedy strikes it unleashes feelings that Greg and Patty had no idea they were feeling and that this would impact their daughters, 16 year old twins. I enjoyed this novel, but Matson is a good writer and will come up with richer fare in the future.
