A wonderful, absorbing read.
Hiding Eden Rain focuses on 34-year-old Natalie Rain, her 16-year-old movie star daughter Eden and 11-year-old son Max. As the story opens, Eden has begun receiving anonymous, threatening emails. It's been a tough year for the small family even without this unsettling development: Natalie's husband Benjamin, a police officer, was killed in a senseless shooting. Now, to protect her children, Natalie decides to leave the pressures and visibility of life in Hollywood for the tiny Minnesota town of Morgan Falls. The family, using assumed names, is taken in by the local residents, who soon become good friends. But trouble eventually follows them and the threats against Eden resume. The mystery is ultimately resolved in a surprise twist, but even as the small family prepares to return to Hollywood and celebrity, they know that they, and the people of Morgan Falls, will never be quite the same.

Writer Caryn N. Casey, herself the mother of two working actresses in Los Angeles, writes with humor, clarity and sensitivity. As she evokes them,
the worlds of Hollywood and a small Midwestern town are uniquely and equally rich. The people of Morgan Falls are good, solid, warm and loving, and they bestow upon their new neighbors the greatest gift one can bestow upon a celebrity: privacy.

Early in the book, Natalie notes that "we make our own family."
The bonds that form between good people who choose to be together in times of peace and trouble, freedom and fear, provide the beating heart of Hiding Eden Rain. By the book's end, we have come to care deeply about characters we would welcome as our own friends and neighbors. In short, Hiding Eden Rain offers us that finest combination: great characters and a suspenseful and satisfying story.

I want more!
Caryn Casey has done a remarkable job of writing a fictional story where
the characters are engaging and real. The characters in Hiding Eden Rain have come to life, and at one point I was pretty sure that if I went to Morgan Falls, I'd find Clem at the General Store! This wonderful story draws the reader in from start to finish with its depth of character development and suspenseful plot. Hiding Eden Rain is one of those books I couldn't put down...but then didn't want the story to end. Once it did, I read it again to take in the details I may have missed the first time!

Sit back, relax and enjoy - a fabulous book from start to finish.
I was "hooked" with the first sentence. The
characters come alive and become people you really care about. I thought about them and the story long after I was done reading the book. Do yourself a favor and meet Natalie, Eden, and Max. Hiding Eden Rain is a book you will enjoy reading while relaxing in the sun or curled up in front of a fire. It's a wonderful blend of humor and mystery, and insightful, well developed relationships of the main character's family and friends. Experience this book and then share it with your friends.
