Montana Rising is a mild-mannered--okay not mild, but at least well-mannered--teacher by day, avid Scrabble player by early evening, and fast asleep by 10pm. Unless she's up writing a fantastical story using all the words played in a particularly good Scrabble game. But after her granddaughter brings home a frightened friend, Monti's life starts reading more like a crime drama than a romantic comedy. How will she write her Scrabble story to a satisfying "Happily Ever After" conclusion? And how can she get her own sweet life back when the situation is spiraling dangerously out of control?

Montana Rising is back for a new adventure Christmas in Florida was not Monti's plan. A quick trip to visit her parents and then bring their estranged daughter, Marla, home from rehab...that was the plan. But her husband suffers a frightening health crisis that forces them to extend their stay in Florida, and the long-prayed-for reconciliation between the Risings, their granddaughter, Noelle, and Marla must begin in a cramped and crowded retirement cottage. Tears, laughter, reminiscences and revelations abound as the family shares suppers, shopping, decorating, and lots of Scrabble. The Scrabble sessions provide a promising board for Monti, and she once again writes a magical story based on all the words played in one game. A powerful tale of courage and steadfast love in the deep forest, the new story spills from Monti's keyoard onto this book's pages as Monti steals time to write in between the moments of heartbreak and healing that suffuse their Christmas reunion.Can you hope for a happy future even if your past is a dreadful wreck? Montana Rising: Scrabble Weather, a hopeful story of faith, forgiveness, and reconciliation, says yes, you can.
