Who is Gerald Hicks And why did he send a mysterious letter claiming ownership of part of the farm the family has worked for nearly one hundred years Just as with farming when it rains sometimes it pours, so also sometimes in life. The Berg family has a strong Christian faith, except for young Clark who ever manages to doubt and stray.

Meeting these challenges head on the members of the Berg familyeach live out their Christian inheritance, not their circumstances.When Troubles Rain is set largely in the environs of the real life town of Stoughton, Wisconsin, a place steeped in its Norwegian culture, and the war time settings of Vietnam and the Demilitarized Zone between North Korea and South Korea.Part family saga and coming of age story, part military fiction based on the events of November 6, 1966, along the Korean Demilitarized Zone, When Troubles Rain is a wonderful story of Christian love, patience and perseverance. A great inspiration for all because it is just a nice and wonderful story.\* \* \*This is the Tenth Anniversary Edition of the novel previously titled Berg Farm, now published by Red Recliner Books, an imprint of DMS Onge Publishing, LLC. This special anniversary edition contains two notes by the author. The first explains why Jim Hodge wrote the book ten years ago and why he dedicated it to the seven soldiers appearing on the dedication page, all but one of whom North Korean soldiers brutally massacred that night so long ago.The second note by the author is about 'God's Providence and Getting History Right.' In this special note, Jim Hodge explains the unlikely but timely finding of old newspaper clippings about that fateful day of the Korean War. He realized the name of one soldier killed in action might have been incorrect. He then details his own perseverance in locating the truth, which, as it turned out, was found in a nearby town. And all of this occurred just before republication of the novel, so that it came to be released by its new publisher on its Tenth Anniversary. This special note, is in itself a lovely story, though a true one. And it illustrates the profound effect we have on the lives of others.We at Red Recliner Books hope that you, dear reader, will be as blessed as we feel to bring this book back to the public's attention.…
