We are thrilled to be participating in another book tour for Rebecca Coleman. We host the Heaven Should Fall Blog Tour and Scavenger Hunt presented by BookTrib . Heaven Should Fall by Rebecca Coleman Literary fiction*Paperback, 368 pages* Publisher: Harlequin MIRA ( September 25, 2012)   Alone since her mother’s death, Jill Wagner wants to eat, sleep and breathe Cade Olmstead when he bursts upon her life—golden, handsome and ambitious. Even putting college on hold feels like a minor sacrifice when she discovers she’s pregnant with Cade’s baby. But it won’t be the last sacrifice she’ll have to make. Retreating to the Olmsteads’ New England farm seems sensible, if not ideal: Jill and Cade will regroup and welcome the baby, surrounded by Cade’s family. But the remote, ramshackle place already feels crowded. Cade’s mother tends to his ailing father, while Cade’s pious sister, her bigoted husband and their rowdy sons overrun the house. Only Cade’s brother, Elias...
