“Small towns have big stories.” That
was a lesson Katie’s father taught her years ago. A lesson she’s taken to
heart. And right now, Katie is desperate for a big story. Reeling from the
recent loss of her father and with her agent breathing down her neck for the
next book, the twenty-one-year-old writer picks a spot on the map and finds
herself bound for a middle-of-nowhere town called Bishopville, South Carolina.
Taking a chance on the words of a
local grocer, Katie stumbles upon a rare breed of dogs raised by the town
doctor and his nephew Kyle. The only problem? Kyle isn’t interested in telling
stories—especially not to a big-city girl who can’t seem to sit still. In an
attempt to win him over as the clock winds down, Katie finds herself immersed
in Kyle’s world, doing everything but writing.
When inspiration finally strikes,
Katie is faced with an unforeseen catastrophe and a truth she can no longer
ignore. While she has come to love the dogs, the real story may be about Kyle
Walker.

Without
warning, white lightning ripped through the rain and echoed over the land. King
turned towards the downslope with blurring speed, as if nature had fired the
starting gun. He crossed the field in a matter of seconds as he raced
towards them.
The
dark sky let out a loud rumble and another flash of yellow blazed from the
clouds.
Kyle
raised his hand to his forehead as if to shield his eyes as King continued
across the vast landscape. The sky opened up around them and rain poured
down.
Katie
brushed the cold water from her arms, barely registering the fact that she was
getting wet. She couldn't take her eyes off King. Every movement he
made seemed to have a specific purpose. It was similar to being in the
sled, but this time he ran free.
He
turned slightly to the left just before he approached a small divot, and then
back right to avoid a thick patch of grass. He moved at a furious pace,
unlike anything Katie had ever seen before.
As
he passed, Kyle stood and walked to the edge of the tree line, his eyes still
following King.
Katie
followed, both of them just watching.
Katie
didn't understand why the mere image of a dog running seemed to overwhelm
her. She had seen lots of dogs run. But there was something different
about this; something deeper. As a writer she hated clichés, but this
time it was true.
Wesley Banks was born in 1983 and grew up on the west coast
of Florida. He graduated from the University of Florida with a
Bachelor's and Master's degree in Civil Engineering. After
spending over 7 years building movable bridges from Florida to Washington
he decided to focus on his true passion: writing.
Wesley recently moved from Florida to Oregon to get back to the great outdoors that he's love so much. He lives with his wife Lindsey, and his two dogs Linkin and Story. Most of his time these days is spent writing, with as much rock climbing, hiking, or skiing as they can fit in.

As you begin to read Hope
In Every Raindrop, you will quickly discover Kyle Walker’s love for
dogs, particularly his Carolina Grays (fictional breed).
Living in the small town of Bishopville, South
Carolina Kyle Walker isn’t much of a movie guy. Fortunately I am. I love
movies, but especially dog movies.
