Woodstock, IL Author Publishes New Book

Family Effects, a new book by Lou Rain, has been released by RoseDog Books.

Author Lou Rain wrote down her memories of growing up and believing herself to be a "welfare check." Lou Rain felt it was very important to show her siblings that they were not welfare checks and, yes, they meant something to someone.

She is at a point in her life where she has finally had enough. To her, it seems that if people think as long as she listens and agrees with everything they say, sympathizes with their situation and pretends nothing happens when it does that peace will always be there!

Her family never considers the effects their actions could have on Lou Rain. She often wonders if there was anyone in her life that she actually helped, instead of possibly forcing them into a direction that they shouldn't have been going. Maybe she should have let things happen, regardless of how she felt; maybe she should have turned the other cheek.

As Lou Rain was writing this book she was trying to hold onto her sanity by hoping for understanding from everyone who reads it. Maybe that overwhelming feeling of sadness she has inside herself lives within others, and she is not alone and can help her readers.
