Ending the Rain

This isn't a fairytale retelling but an original story involving coming of age, love, and finding one's true destiny isn't necessarily dictated by what's on a stone but what's in a heart.

I read this for book club otherwise I might not've found this charming tale, which is well worth the read.

Ms. Niedfeldt has done a wonderful job of creating a lovely world for her characters. There is magic, there are knights, and a delightful finishing school.

I enjoyed following Abagail's journey through friendship and love. By her side is faithful Lacey. Abigail must traverse the precarious pitfalls of first crushes and love, fitting into a new school, and discovering the at-first-frightening school teacher is an ally she needs.

Well done Ms. Niedfeldt. I enjoyed it so much, I bought the second book to finish the tale.
