Description: A sequel to Seasons Under Heaven, Showers in Season picks up with all the vivid, so-real-you-know-them characters from Cedar Circle, the "quiet" cul-de-sac that is anything but. Readers who made Blackstock and LaHaye's first collaboration a resounding best-seller will be eager to be reunited with Tory and Barry, Cathy, Brenda and David, Harry and Sylvia -- the fictional neighbors whose lives and struggles so clearly mirror their own.
-- Tory and Barry Sullivan are thrilled with the news of Tory's pregnancy -- until amniocentesis reveals that their unborn child has Down Syndrome. Each of them confronts the news differently, and a serious rift develops in their marriage. Tory is firmly committed to delivering her child and raising her, while Barry, remembering the agony of life with his own autistic brother, is no longer sure he is pro-life.
-- Sylvia Bryan keeps in touch with her Cedar Circle friends via e-mail and works hard to assist Nicaraguans displaced by a hurricane. She learns to fill the void in her life as she and her husband face an empty nest.
-- Cathy Flahery's romance with Steve is beginning to move forward, but it's threatened by the rebellious behavior of her kids, especially the youngest, Mark. As she struggles to keep her family together, she risks the loss of friends as well as a blossoming relationship.
-- Brenda and David Dood focus on bringing a sense of normalcy to their family following the dramatic illness of their son.

All the characters and their friendships are explored, but Tory and Barry's threatened marriage is the core story in Showers in Season. Will the once-happy couple look beyond their opposing views and find their way back to eachother's hearts?
