She doesn’t want to talk about it…

…He has no idea what he said.

Will these two ever learn to communicate?

Stormy is usually a people person but when her temper flares, it’s obvious she was aptly named. And now her ire has been piqued. Watch out world.

All but the cardinal are giving her space.

Rob is usually the smartest guy in the room, but when he forgot to think about his words, he turned loose a tornado. Now he’s dealing with the aftermath and praying there’s still enough love to save amidst the debris.

How can he convince Stormy they belong together? Could this be the perfect moment for another person to step in?

Or will the cardinal in the sycamore tree prove Rob’s case?

Return to 1970 Indiana with Stormy, the second book in The Weather Girls series for Women’s Lib, drive-ins, and Christian family values.

You will enjoy Stormy because everyone knows that sometimes you’ve just got to shake things up a bit.

About the Author


Jennifer Lynn Cary likes to say you can take the girl out of Indiana, but you can’t take the Hoosier out of the girl. Now transplanted to the Arizona desert, this direct descendant of Davy Crockett and her husband of forty years enjoy time with family where she shares tales of her small town heritage and family legacies with their grandchildren. She is the author of The Crockett Chronicles series and The Relentless series as well as the stand-alone novella Tales of the Hob Nob Annex Café and her recent split-time novel The Traveling Prayer Shawl.

 

More from Jennifer

What were you doing in 1970? Were you even around? It’s funny how for some that year is crystal clear in their memory and for some it’s chapter out of a history book.

I remember having lunch with a literary agent who’d been a guest speaker for a writer’s conference I attended. He mentioned that it was strange to him that now 1974 was considered historical. Worse, for me, it was the year I was graduated from high school! Talk about making one feel old.

And yet there’s so many wonderful things about setting a story in the late 60s- to early 70s.

The research is amazing—TV broadcasts, the music, fashions, events—all that is easily assessable on the internet. Plus, want some firsthand anecdotes? Plenty of people around to share their memories.

Unlike going back to Colonial, or Victorian, or Civil War eras, this was easy. Sort of. Or overwhelming with so much to choose from. Ha!

So, with Stormy, the second book in The Weather Girls trilogy, I touched on how the Women’s Movement of the day might have and an effect. There was a lot of rethinking of the male and female roles, a shifting of the paradigm. Should he open her door? Should she let him? When was it okay to think traditionally and when did you need to consider your partner might not like a traditional role? The ERA movement was a BIG deal back then.

So, even if you don’t remember it, I hope you will have fun going back to 1970 Kokomo with Stormy and me. I look forward to seeing you there. 😉

Abundant blessings!

My Thoughts

The Weather Girls: Stormy is written by Jennifer Lynn Cary. This is book two in the Weather Girls series. I would highly recommend reading the books in order so that you can grasp the full effect. This series follows three sisters. Sisters that are close and that have started a business together. They run The Weather Girls  Wedding Venue. This is the 2nd sisters story. Stormy the middle child of the Day family. Stormy is the one that has been able to connect with the brides and other clients in order to help build a sale. 

Stormy is married to Rob. However, she left Rob abruptly. She shows up back in Kokomo at their grandmothers house. She does not want to tell her sisters the whole story yet. She throws herself into the business and tries to forget about all her previous life. What she isn't prepared for is Rob showing up and wanting to get everything fixed. Stormy is not quite sure she is ready for that. Enter Glenda, a long time nemesis of Stormy. Glenda senses there is problems with Stormy and Rob and tries to swoop in. She tries everything she can to win Rob over and to ruin Stormy and her business. 

This was a wonderful story. Stormy is strong and stubborn. She buries some of her feelings and tries to throw herself into work. I really enjoyed seeing her and Rob together. I have been really enjoying the Day sisters. I love their dynamic and relationship. They all have different personalities. I have 3 sisters. I am the oldest. The Day sisters remind me of my sisters and I. 

I am looking forward to reading Windy's story. She is the youngest sister. 

I received a copy of this book through the Celebrate Lit Blogging Program, all thoughts are my own.
