Bittersweet Rain

Alright... i have finished another book... This time, it is by Sandra Brown again... AND I LOVE THIS BOOK!!! The storyline is so... BIZARRE!!! like WOW!!! Applause for Sandra Brown! Hmm... The story actually goes like this... This guy named Rink is the heir to Lancaster Gin and The Retreat (Grand house where all the Lancaster stays). Everyone at the Gin knew him, liked him and respected him for he cared for each and everyone of them and remembered them. Even those who never worked at the Gin knew him. Then there was this girl, Caroline Dawson. Her father was a drunkard and was well known in the whole area... Everyone looked down on her since they relate her father as thrash and well... since he is her father... PROJECTION... She knew that people looked down on her so she wanted to prove them wrong. Here's another guy... Roscoe Lancaster... This guy is Rink's father whom Rink has come to hate very much... Due to the very different characters both of these men have... They hate each other like people on the war field hate the other party. Why does his father hate him? It is because Rink has a sense of righteousness in him taht his father cannot stand... His father wants him to be like him... To be notorious and scared by everyone...

So now the story really begins... During one summer... Rink meets Caroline in the woods and they both fell in love with each other... This meeting carries on for quite a few times but Rink hates to meet up secretly... He wants to go on dates with Caroline... Tell everyone that she is his girlfriend but because she is Dawson's daughter... Gossips will rage like wildfire. Both of them hate to be speculted but one day, Rink finally realises that Caroline is the girl of his dreams and he wants to marry her. So he tells her to wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow everything will be okay. He goes home to his father and tells him that he has met the girl he is going to marry. But his father only told him that he has to marry another girl cos she is pregnant with "his child". He was so very unwilling but had to marry her because if he din, his father was going to send his sister, Laura Jane, to a place for mentally retarded people to stay. Laura Jane she is a little bit retarded but her brother loves her a lot. Thus, with no choice, he left everyone and everything for 12 years. He din even tell Caroline about his departure because he knew that people will be watching him and he din want to pull Caroline into this problem.

The real thing is, his father actually planned all this... He sent some spies to spy on his son and knew that he was in love with Caroline so he did everything he could to seperate them. Seperating them was not enuff. He planned everything. He married Caroline and kept her with him for as long as he lived den told Laura Jane to write ti him telling him that Caroline has married but din say who. Only later den Rink heard about the marraige to his father. He was fuming angry with both Caroline and his father. On Roscoe's deathbed, he told Rink that he could never have Caroline because she was his wife and he had had her first.

Can you imagine ever having such a father? Who is so filled with hate for his OWN SON that he could do so much just to hirt him? He can even marry his son's love to carry out his hate.

There are of course other parts to the story and they are all very interesting but i only wanted to write about this part since i was shocked and amused at the same time. Haha... Go borrow the book if you want to see mroe. INTERESTING!!!
