A family shattered by abuse and the town that comes together to save them.
Annie Mac's estranged husband vows that nothing will stop him from getting his baby girl. Not Annie Mac and certainly not that boy of hers.
Only four blocks away, Hannah Morgan lives in comfort with her husband and dog, making pottery and waiting for her best friend to come home. When she discovers the two children cowering in the bushes and their mama left for dead, it doesn't take her long to rally the sleepy town of Beaufort, NC, and to set her coterie of do-gooders to some extra-strength do-gooding. Add in Clay, a lonely police lieutenant yanked out of his comfort zone and into the heart of this small family, and who knows what will happen?

Read from October 14 to 15, 2016Wow....I really liked this book! I had already read Becalmed months ago and when I saw another Normandie Fischer book advertised in one of my book sites I snapped it up. Ms. Fischer has a way with words...very different writing. Not fluffy, not hard to relate to, not overly complex, just down-home, yet creative.
Love her characters. They are a bunch of close friends who would give the shirt off their back to one another, but sometimes with a lot of prodding, which made it real.
This is a continuation of Becalmed, with a few new characters, Roy, Annie Mac and her two sweet children. Roy is crazy, probably schizophrenic. The book starts with him beating Annie Mac to near death because she won't tell him know where his little girl is. Clearly it's with good reason she can't let him know, and she nearly gets killed to protect her. Hannah, a neighbor, while walking her dog hears yelling and a commotion. Not wanting to get involved becomes impossible when her dog sniffs out the children hiding in the bushes. Knowing the man their hiding from has slammed the door and driven off, she proceeds into the house with caution. There she finds a woman battered and bleeding and unconscious.
This starts a story of protection and care beyond Annie Mac's comprehension.
When I said Roy is probably schizophrenic it's because, on one hand he's volatile and abusive to Annie Mac (because she's filed for divorce and is taking full custody of her daughter), but on the other hand he's gentle toward another woman he cares for, and loving toward birds. But his internal dialog is all over the place ranging from jealousy, to love, to regret over a horrific thing Annue Mac caught him doing to his daughter, to wanting to kill anyone in his way. He's disturbed, yet appears to be quite normal.
With surgery Annie Mac survives the trauma, but she's pretty messed up, and now needs police protection while she's recovering. But there's a mole who is getting word back to Roy about her whereabouts and what they're doing to protect her.
You can imagine what may go on, so I won't give it all away.
This was a great book. One I would recommend to anyone.

Heavy Weather Carolina Coast Stories Book 2 (Audible Audio Edition) Normandie Fischer Laura Jennings Books Reviews
Annie Mac’s life has never been easy, but she has tried to make the best of it. When her husband, Roy, beats her to almost death, the small town of Beaufort pulls together to help and protect Annie Mac and her two adorable children.
Heavy Weather is a very compelling story in which emotions run rampant and the tensions are high. It is a story of pain – both physically and mentally, a story of love, a story of healing and most of all a story of keeping faith when doing so seems utterly impossible. The characters are well-developed and are ones I was able to easily connect with which made this book impossible to stop listening to – needing to know what would happen next.
Normandie Fischer has crafted a richly captivating story that is filled with drama, suspense and Christian values. The story was well-written and flowed practically effortlessly. Ms. Fischer did a marvelous job creating characters that I cared about and she also did an outstanding job at portraying domestic abuse in a raw and honest way that brought tears to my eyes.
Laura Jennings narrates Heavy Weather and I think she did a fantastic job portraying the characters and setting the tone for this amazing story. Each of the characters voices was distinct and the pacing was just right. With her pleasant voice and her ability to incorporate all the right emotions made this a truly wonderful listening experience that is worth the credit.
If you are looking for a clean, well-written, touching and believable story with characters you will love and some that you will despise, look no further than Heavy Weather. This story touched my heart and is one that I would not hesitate to recommend.

Wow, this was a great book. I wouldn't classify it as a romance, per se, because we don't really get to see the romance building between Annie Mac and Clay. They do fall in love, but that is not the focus of the book. It is so much more than a romance. The core group of friends rally behind Annie Mac and help her and her children recover from an abusive father/ex-husband's brutal attack, and we get to spy in on the affects one family's drama has on a small town community.
So much happens and I don't want to let any spoilers slip, so I won't do a recap. But I loved reading as Hannah and Matt's story unfolded. I loved catching up with Tadie and Will, Rita and Martin, and meeting Clay. What a standup guy! I loved watching his transformation from a man content with his solo life to his becoming a family man. (I totally got him as a 'leave me alone with my solo existence' person, since I am very much that way. He was very well drawn.)
Annie Mac gets her own paragraph. She felt very real to me. How does a woman end up in an abusive relationship? And once there, how does she have the courage to leave? Annie Mac has made more than one mistake in her life, and my how she has paid for it. Yet she worked to pull herself up out of a horrible situation, and continued to fight against all odds to improve her life and the lives of her children. She is the picture of a strong woman who doesn't let life beat her down, even when a key person in her life has. Her story is a tough one, and may trigger survivors of abuse, but she is inspiring to watch as she grows and learns to live and heal again.
And as with other Normandie Fischer books I've read, she does a fantastic job bringing the children to life. I fell in love with Katie, and the little man, Ty, melted my heart with his determination to help his mama. I'm a grouchy old woman when it comes to kids - I can take 'em or leave 'em, generally. (Excepting my own grandkids - and I married into them, I have none of my own.) That these youngsters found their way into my heart says a lot for how masterfully they were portrayed. And revisiting Jilly from Becalmed was an added bonus, as she was another young character I very much loved.
I will say that this story is brutally honest. It pulls no punches and for me, personally, I felt deeply and profoundly as the characters moved through tragedy and triumph, and everything in between. In life, I'm not much of a crier. I will confess good fiction has the ability to make me cry faster than real life - and this certainly qualifies as good fiction. I cried more than once, both happy tears and tears of sadness and outrage.
Oh, and let me not forget how much I appreciated getting in the head of the bad guy. Roy was a real piece of work, and had we not been privy to the workings of his mind, I think the story would have been more bewildering and not nearly as tense. Getting in his head was not pretty, but I think it was necessary to build tension and really understand the depth of danger Annie Mac and those who were helping her were in.
Very well done story. If you haven't yet read it, you won't be sorry.
Content Rating PG-13 for scenes of abuse and dramatic (though not overtly graphic violence) - but language and romantic content are "clean" and flinch free.
