The Taste of Rain holds a raw, real and beautiful emotion, from a private, deep place of a man, destined to dream.

Kim Malchuk's husband, Mel, was taken by cancer during the height of their endearing romance. Devastated by the loss, she made the courageous choice to keep Tasting Rain despite her heartbreak. As a motivational coach/speaker, Kim shares her wisdom and wit in an inspirational memoir designed to help others live a life of self-awareness, authenticity and joy. Written in a free-flowing, embracing style, Tasting Rain provides a personal perspective on loss, healing and love. Having welcomed the power of positive thinking into her own life, Kim has become a master teacher of how changing our thoughts can change our lives.

A fantastic book! Timothy Egan describes his journeys in the Pacific Northwest through visits to salmon fisheries, redwood forests and the manicured English gardens of Vancouver. Here is a blend of history, anthropology and politics.
