Publisher's Synopsis
Ethan Pierce is a reclusive artist, haunted by a love he can never forget. When he meets Lily Wilder, a woman with a terminal illness, she asks him to paint a memory of a love she never had. What begins as a simple request turns into an unexpected connection, one that will change both their lives forever.
As Lily's time runs out, their bond grows deeper, transcending time constraints and illness. But just as quickly as she enters his life, Lily leaves it, leaving Ethan shattered and lost. Struggling to move on, Ethan finds himself haunted by her memory, seeing her in every stroke of his paintbrush, in every drop of rain, and in every quiet moment of his life.
But Lily's love isn't gone. Her spirit lingers, urging Ethan to let go of the past and embrace the future. When he uncovers a series of letters she wrote before they even met, Ethan realizes their connection was never an accident. Their love was written in the stars-but what did it mean for him now?
With each passing day, Ethan faces a choice: Can he move forward with a love that's transcended time, or will he forever be trapped in the echo of a past that refuses to let him go?
A story of love, loss, and the power of memories, A Handprint in the Rain will leave you questioning what it means to let go truly.
