With the state of Florida for a backdrop, Raines in the Day, is the story of one man’s life as it unfolds through the first half of the 20th Century. Rich with the bittersweet gifts of life and infused with the beauty of the sea and the outdoors, Raines in the Day details John Raines journey through loss, love, and healing. With appeal to readers of Patrick Smith’s A Land Remembered, and Richard Powell’s I Take This Land, John Raines’ journey is a portrait of a man grappling with inner and outer changes, struggling to understand his own heart, and fighting to move beyond the losses and limitations of his past. The second in the Raines Family trilogy, Raines in the Day takes up where the first volume, Men Without Hate, left off.
