deep historical fiction

In 1886 Johnstown, Pennsylvania Charlotte Lange mourns the loss of her grandparents gaining solace only from miner Braedan Egan. A good person, Braedan assures that the fourteen years old Charlotte, her kin and his younger brother have food on their table and a roof over their heads. Charlotte who has always looked up towards Braedan now fully idolizes him; she dreams of one day becoming his wife. Her dreams burst three years later when the nearby dam collapses flooding everything and killing many. She prays for her loved ones including Braedan, who feels the weight of the world on his shoulders. As Braedan thinks of giving up, Charlotte becomes his foundation through her belief that together they can overcome this calamity and any others they must face. Though a well-written inspirational romance showcasing how the strong survive calamities, WAITING FOR THE RAINBOW is much more. In this reviewer's opinion the tale is a deep historical fiction work as readers obtain a powerful look at Johnstown just prior to, during and after the infamous 1889 flood. Dana George provides a vivid thriller that will inspire her audience as her lead couple overcomes much seeking the rainbow at the end of the calamity. Harriet Klausner
