When Darla Hit ~ Paperback ~ R, Grace Comyns

Life came on like a storm for Rose Leander, terrifying and out of control. When Darla Hit chronicles the adventures of a gutsy New England woman over the last four decades of the twentieth century. Through several failed marriages, she raises two remarkable children and finds success in the male-dominated world of general contracting. Her religious beliefs and psychic abilities are downplayed as she meets life head on, with a sense of humor and a fearless heart. While settling her late brother's estate on the west coast of Florida, a major hurricane changes her life and renews her faith in love.
