A Dry Spell by Susie Moloney

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


First off, I want to say that I read this book while I was locked up in a prison down in Mexico. I had been starved, abused, and I nearly died. I finally managed to get word out through an inmate, and was saved by that. They don't let you die if someone knows you are in there!
Now, there were missionaries and do-gooders who would bring books to that foul prison, and they mostly ended up being used as toilet paper by the poorer inmates. Once I had been taken to a hospital, and treated for illness and a myriad of other issues caused by the mistreatment, I found myself in need of an escape.
Enter the books. I managed to get to the old chapel where the books were deposited one time before the tp-seekers, and one of the books I scored was A Dry Spell.
This book is very well written, and it took me on a journey that gave me a much needed escape from the horrors of that prison. The violence, drug use, and danger just kind of faded away while reading this story. I saw through Tom's eyes as he sought to save that town from the curse of a dark secret which was keeping all rain at bay, and slowly killing the town.
ABSOLUTELY awesome book, and I thank this author for crafting the exact tale I needed to escape a terrible time. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a great story.
