Book Description
With her first novel, Angie Cruz established herself as a dazzling new voice in Latin-American fiction. Junot Diaz called her "a revelation" and The Boston Globe compared her writing to that of Gabriel García Márquez. Now, with humor, passion, and intensity, she reveals the proud members of the Colón family and the dreams, love, and heartbreak that bind them to their past and the future. Esperanza did not risk her life fleeing the Dominican Republic to live in a tenement in Washington Heights. No, she left for the glittering dream she saw on television: JR, Bobby Ewing, and the crystal chandeliers of Dallas. But years later, she is still stuck in a cramped apartment with her husband, Santo, and their two children, Bobby and Dallas. She works as a home aide and, at night, stuffs unopened bills from the credit card company in her lingerie drawer where Santo won't find them when he returns from driving his livery cab. Despite their best efforts, they cannot seem to change their present circumstances. But when Santo's mother dies, back in Los Llanos, and his father, Don Chan, comes to Nueva York to live out his twilight years in the Colóns' small apartment, nothing will ever be the same. Santo had so much promise before he fell for that maldita woman, thinks Don Chan, especially when he is left alone with his memories of the revolution they once fought together against Trujillo's cruel regime, the promise of who Santo might have been, had he not fallen under Esperanza's spell. From the moment Don Chan arrives, the tension in the Colón household is palpable. Flashing between past and present, Let It Rain Coffee is a sweeping novel about love, loss, family, and the elusive nature of memory and desire, set amid the crosscurrents of the history and culture that shape our past and govern our future.

Book Description
"Let It Rain is the revelation God gave me over a period of 30 years about His plan of Redemption. "The Original Intent." what He was doing, how He did it, and why. The "Restoration and Adoption" of mankind. Restoration and the necessity of appropriating it. Its about the Church from God's perspective, what He expects and why He expects it. "Let It Rain" is about the Church and its present day purpose, and Power to perform that purpose. Its about relationship between God and His offspring, the intimacy He wants to share, and the power that flows from that relationship. Its about the "New Life" as God sees it that He has provided (given). "Let It Rain" is a chronology of Salvation, and it purpose and power.

Book Description
Man is a communal animal. He enjoys and often seeks out friendship. He bonds with his fellow-man and woman out of an intrinsic desire for companionship. For most men, having this companionship and friendship in their lives is a natural part of their existence. It helps to give them a sense of purpose and makes them feel more connected to their environment. But what happens when a man's environment becomes one that places no value on friendship? What happens when his environment becomes so harsh that it cherishes no bond? What happens when friends, lovers, and even family are set against one another in a never-ending struggle to survive? What type of animal will man become then? By following Money (the central character in Let it Rain) through the streets of his hood, southern streets which once blossomed with hospitality; we will see how the scourge of drugs and the lure of fast cars, and even faster women, transformed what was an environment of southern hospitality into an environment of southern hell. We will see how Money and his three best friends Boe, Black and Snake deal with the challenges of friendship, loyalty, love, and responsibility. We will watch while the desire to escape their chaotic environment transforms some from youngsters into men , while others are transformed into monsters. What would you do to gain and keep a Colombian drug connection that promised to make you richer than you had ever imagined? Would you betray your friends and loved ones? Ask yourself that question but don't try to answer it until after you have read Let it Rain: It's like Butter Baby.
