Reviews:

No Rain, No Rainbows is a collection of heart-warming stories about problems being faced by today's young women. Each teenage girl is faced with a different problem, from finding true love to making right choices or even learning from wrong choices. But No Rain No Rainbows isn't just for teens. If you like to cry and laugh while reading, then this book is for you.

The first story, "Dear Diary", is written as if we were getting a sneak peek into someone's diary, and what a peek. On the very first entry, we learn that our main character Deirdre's parents are splitting up. Later we meet dad's new girlfriend. Will Deirdre ever get used to the new woman and will she ever reconcile her feelings with her dad?

One story that brought tears to my eyes was about a young girl's struggle between wanting to keep her grandmother out of the rest home and having to give up her summer to stay with grandma. The grandma character is everybody's grandma, and for those of us who have faced this very dilemma, "Best of Times" will definitely warm your heart and bring a smile to your day.

Many people around the world are finding true love on the Internet. When Valerie decides to meet her cyber guy, will it be love at first sight or a dangerous nightmare? "Meet Captain Cool" will have you sitting on the edge of your seat.

Each story will draw you into the world of today's young people. You may be facing these very problems yourself right now or. as in my case, you may be drawn back in time to reminisce on days gone by. Whichever it is, No Rain, No Rainbows has a little something for everyone. I highly recommend this wonderful collection of short stories. Remember there can be no rainbows without the rain.
