When Darla Hit
A novel by r. grace comyns When Darla Hit is set throughout North America, during the last four decades of the
twentieth century and into the new millennium. This innovative novel chronicles the life of Rose Leander, a gutsy New
England woman who survives a troubled childhood, bouts of depression, and periods of poverty. At age thirteen, she
leaves home to join the Catholic Church and enters a parochial high school, hoping to become a nun. When she
graduates, disillusioned by the teachings of the church and fearful of the fate of marrying some local dullard, she moves
to Connecticut and marries one there. After that marriage fails, she becomes an accomplished businesswoman in the
male-dominated world of bridge construction, determined to find happiness through success. With a keen sense of
humor and a fearless heart, she raises her two spirited children as she struggles through several abusive marriages. Her
psychic abilities are downplayed, as are the religious and historical details of the book, making this novel both
mysterious and profound. The second chapter of When Darla Hit rings with authenticity as the author describes her
over-sized, somewhat dysfunctional family, ultimately memorializing her beloved mother.In the second half of the
book, Rose travels to the gulf coast of Florida to settle her late brother's estate. When Hurricane Darla strikes the area,
our protagonist is seriously injured. Her brother's attorney, Ben Carmichael, gains her trust and becomes her hero as he
nurses, protects, and cares for her, both before and after their rescue. During this frightening ordeal, the two fall deeply
in love and eventually settle into a carefree lifestyle in Vermont. They watch the seasons unfold as they search the
countryside for the perfect place to live. Their happiness is interrupted when Ben is compelled to travel to New York
City for a meeting with his trust attorney. The meeting is scheduled on the morning of September 11th, 2001, at the
World Trade Center.Of course that's not the end of the story. You'll want to read the book to learn the fate of our
characters. You won't be bored or disappointed. ;Prepare for a captivating ending!
