Customer Reviews

I Couldn't put it down.

WOW! I want you to know that I am not a prodigious reader but I bought the book a few weeks ago and absolutely could not put it down. You have a wonderful descriptive way of making every sentence paint a picture that welcomes the reader to enter. The whole weekend was spent right there in Mexico helping with the search. I am certainly telling my friends about your book. Thank you for sharing such a vividly descriptive adventure with us.

The Second Milagro: Truly Miraculous

A very entertaining and, ultimately, deeply moving novel about the complex life-web which links a "Silver Magnolia" to her past, present and future. The main character, Patricia Morales, is truly believable...her dedication to the important people in her life is inspirational. When one reads this novel, one feels the heat of an Alabama summer and tastes the fragrant air of Mexico during festival. Rainwater is a master of descriptive writing. This reader anticipates a sequel and looks forward to more of Rainwater's work.

The Second Milagro

This plot-driven tale is a wild ride--as action-oriented as the cover of the book. The author has done her homework (and her heart work, too) as her protagonist pursues her heart's desire across the continent. From the most humble of beginnings, Patricia Morelos learns that fear is just another four-letter word. The story celebrates strong women and macho men and the spontaneous combustion that happens when they clash. One miracle is nice, but a second is phenomenal.

The Second Milagro by Linda Rainwater

THE SECOND MILAGRO is not just a story about miracles. Rather, it is about how the courage and perseverance of Patricia Morelos help make miracles come true. Not many women would be able to stand up to the corrupt officials and the outright enemies that Patricia has to outwit. Few will experience the devotion of a friend like that of the intrepid, blind Rachel. Some of the real surprises in this book are the flashbacks to Patricia's early life in Alabama where we learn what made her so tough, and later, her meteoric rise in her husband's empire. The dialogue is so real that whether you are in a diner in Talladega, AL., or a board meeting in Mexico, the words ring true. The book also brings to life the history and culture of Mexico in such a way that they are an integral and necessary part of the story. The twists and turns of the journey Patricia and Rachel take into the ancient city of Real de Catorce keep the reader turning the pages quickly. We all want to know, "What is the 'second' milagro?"

A great read!
