Rainwater by Sandra Brown

This idiot librarian left her Kindle in the airplane seat pocket on her flight to Spring Break, but at least her friend had some books to read! In this adult romance/drama, Ella works hard managing a boarding house, and doesn’t have time for change. She’s raising her son, who flaps his arms, cries out when disturbed and likes to play the same repetitive games. A modern reader knows the boy has autism, but that disease hadn’t really been named yet. Everyone recommends an institution, but Ella refuses to put away her only son. When a mysterious boarder arrives and is dying, Ella doesn’t want to get involved, but she does when race relations threaten to tear her little town apart.
