When you’ve spent most of your life in an orphanage, sometimes wishes are all you have. Seven-year-old Jason escapes his reality through books and daydreams, imagining faraway places beyond the walls of the Kowalska Children’s Home. Smart, imaginative, and full of hope, Jason has one wish he keeps close to his heart. One he has never told anyone.
Arnold has been labeled a troublemaker from the start. Having never known life outside the orphanage, he hides his longing for love behind mischief and jokes. Deep down, he wishes someone would see past his reputation to who he truly is.
When a couple arrives at the annual adoption fair, both boys try not to hope too much. After all, older children rarely get chosen, especially ones with “history.” But sometimes the most unexpected wishes come true in the most unexpected ways.
A heartwarming tale of friendship, courage, and finding family in the places you least expect. Jason’s Wish reminds us that home isn’t always where you’re from. It’s where you’re meant to be.

Rain
A Novel by T. Dawn Gatling Coates
Young Adult Fiction · Teen & Adult · Faith · Family Drama
In the Summers family, Sunday smiles are practically a spiritual discipline. Seventeen-year-old Rain has it down to a science: press your dress, fix your face, and never let the congregation see anything but the picture-perfect pastor’s daughter they expect.
But something is wrong in the Summers house. Rain’s “dreams” are leaving marks she can’t explain. Her sister Michelle’s relationship with the deacon’s son is turning darker by the day. And the arrival of a psychology professor named Sydney Jordan is stirring up questions nobody in this family is prepared to answer.
When the truth finally starts pushing through the cracks, it doesn’t come gently. It comes like a flood. The kind that doesn’t just damage things, but rearranges them entirely.
Read the full description
Rain is a story about what happens when a family built on appearances is forced to face reality. About faith tested by the people who were supposed to model it. About the cost of silence, the courage it takes to break it, and the kind of healing that can only start when the truth has room to breathe.
Some secrets don’t keep forever. And some storms are actually the answer to a prayer.
