🌧️💙 Coming July 4th, 2025: Clair’s Run in the Rain – A Memory of Bonded Love

Some stories tug at your heart from the very first page—and Clair’s Run in the Rain: A Memory of Bonded Love is one of them. I’m beyond honored and excited to share this special book with you on July 4th, 2025.

This isn’t just a story about a spelling bee or a girl who runs—it’s about love that lingers, memories that guide, and courage that rises up when we least expect it.

📖 About the Story:

Meet Clair, a bright and determined 12-year-old girl who is preparing for one of the biggest moments of her young life: the school spelling bee. But on the night before the competition, the butterflies in her stomach aren’t just from nerves—they’re from grief.

It’s been a year since Clair lost her father, her biggest cheerleader and the one who always had the right words when life got hard. Missing his presence deeply, Clair does the only thing that feels right—she puts on her running shoes and heads outside.

But this isn’t just any run…It’s a run in the rain.And with every drop that falls and every step she takes, memories of her father come rushing back—his voice during tough dance tryouts, his strength when she faced bullies, and his love when she doubted herself most.

💭 Why This Story Matters

Clair’s Run in the Rain is more than a children's book—it's a testament to the kind of love that never fades. It reminds young readers (and adults, too) that:

• The people who love us most leave lasting imprints on our hearts.

• Courage is sometimes found in unexpected places.

• It’s okay to cry, to remember, and to run through the rain until you find your strength again.
