Rain Dance, written by Joy Dekok, is an insightful book dealing with the difficult topics of abortion and infertility. Joy is a talented writer, and I liked her style of beautifully crafting this story, from paragraph to paragraph. Written in first person point of view, the story line is difficult, but she handles it in an amazingly adept manner. She writes a heartwarming story about a chance meeting and the strong friendship that develops between two unlikely, completely and totally opposite women and how that impacts them and the ones they love. In spite of their differences, they are drawn together and form a bond. From page one, I became deeply immersed, and the story stayed with me even when I finished the last sentence. I felt sad when the book ended and wanted to follow the characters into the next chapter of their lives.I really enjoyed how the book switched viewpoints between the main characters, Jonica Johnson and Stacie Cutter, so I could see how each scene unfolded from their unique perspectives and get into their hearts and minds, thoughts and emotions. This aspect of the book was particularly fun, and I looked forward to reading the alternating voices of the two main characters and getting into each woman's head. I liked the refreshing honesty this book portrays as well. Both women are hurting and their emotions are raw, and none of that is hidden from the reader. Stacie is career focused and self-centered, and Jonica is angry at God and confused about her infertility. I laughed and cried and got angry right along with them. Joy writes in such a way that it's easy to feel the same emotions the characters are experiencing, whether it be confusion and frustration, or pain and anger, or exhilaration and triumph.As the ending unfolded, the writer handed us one surprise after another. God's intervention through the story redeems and restores without being cliché. His presence brings comfort even when a heart's desire may not be granted, or a prayer prayed may not be answered in the way we want it to or think it will be.I wouldn't hesitate to offer this beautifully and sensitively written book to anyone to read - it's that good and will touch everyone's heart. Be sure to have a box of tissues handy.
