Rain Remembers -- Courtne Comrie, Hardcover
"A satisfying, well-written, and authentic sequel highlighting the ways healing and self-love are ongoing processes."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
In the companion novel to the critically acclaimed Rain Rising, Rain must once again find the strength to rise above.
The start of the school year is bringing a lot of changes for Rain: New school. No Circle Group. No Dr. McCalla. No Miss Walia. No step team. And Xander, her older brother and superhero, is away at college.
Although everyone else seems okay with change, Rain struggles to open up to her new counselor, her mom, Umi, Alyssa, and even Xander, who seems to have forgotten all about her while away at college. But when an older boy starts giving Rain more attention than she asked for--will she be able to open up again before things go too far?
As Kirkus Reviews said of Rain Rising: "A gorgeous debut: a necessary, cathartic, immersive healing experience." Readers will be eager to follow Rain in this companion novel. Like the rain, she is both gentle and a force, finding strength to rise again.
