A Shine of Rainbows by Lillian Beckwith

A Shine of Rainbows by Lillian Beckwith
122 pages

"Mairi and Sandy live on a lonely Hebridean island, content with each other - despite their lack of children.  When Mairi brings home Thomas, a child from the orphanage, Sandy is...disappointed in the boy's stammer and fragility.  With time, Thomas grows in confidence and draws nearer to his foster mother, but Sandy keeps an emotional distance - until tragedy results in a new understanding."  --from the publisher

This simple, sweet story would be a good family read-aloud book.
