Husband and wife soul-mates Michael and Rachel Bouchard are Bo Harrison and his lovely bride, Ruthie. In 1960’s Florida Bo sweeps his lovely bride, Ruthie, up into the tree house he's built as a surprise for their wedding night, unaware that the fury of an infamous storm is rolling in from the gulf. Ruthie, recently paralyzed from the waist down, tentatively finds her way in their "honeymoon suite in the sky"—and in the mystery, wonder and promise of her role as a newlywed. The human heart's wild longing for union in conflict with its abiding need for self-preservation fuels the sweet storm between lover and beloved in this intimate love story that challenges our perceptions of marriage, faith, and love.

"Sweet Storm" stays with you like the freshness following a summer cloudburst." — NY Times.
