Murmur of Rain: Murmur of Rain

As an African American who is also a Christian, it is very hard to find books that represent me as one or both, but this book did it! It is truly a pager turner and offers a great history lesson on Haiti, Frederick Douglas, and Paris,France. I couldn't put it down! It was wonderful to read on the unfolding of Lauren and Roget's love. Although the book starts out to be a slow read, that quickly changes,and once it does, you're sure to stay up all night reading it! Kudos to Patricia VAughn fo her wonderful work!...

It is such a good book that I bought it. This book contains everything and a lot more that a book should have. It is suspenseful to see what will happen next. Patricia Vaughn is an excellent writer and I too hope she will make a series. Thank you for writing this beautiful book. Karaak

The Caribbean Islands and France are seldom written of from a Black middle and upper class perspective. To have read such an enlightening and educational book was satisfying, and I hope I don't have to wait longer for another one. Lauren and Roget were very "realistic" characters. They had love, passion, romance, heartache, doubts, and drama like normal relationships have. I would like to read a series based on the de Martiers. Annalisa

If you like historical romances you'll love Murmur of Rain. Hard to believe this is only her first book. The story is a long one, but I like that she took time to develop the plot. I never lost interest. The fact that the hero and heroine are of African descent is a bonus. This book is what a historical romance should be--a romance combined with an interesting history lesson. Also liked the setting--France and Haiti. I'm truly tired of historicals set in England.
