Sistah's Conversations Podcast

On today's show, I speak with new author James Ruvalcaba. His debut novel is titled The Light From The Pouring Rain.

A true story about a young couple's battle with cancer.
The Light Through the Pouring Rain is a remarkable love story that will pull on your heartstrings and leave you inspired.

"Brutally honest and sincere. Well written and there's a message in here we all could use."

"James does an excellent job of captivating the reader and bringing them along for the ride."

An emotional page-turner that gives a first-hand look into the lives of a young couple madly in love and eager to start their lives together, only to have it all halted by a cancer diagnosis. With no clear road map on how to navigate their new normal, James and Anabel proceed into uncharted territory, hand-in-hand, with the love of their families and their faith in God to guide them.
