Bring Down the Rain

Starting at a new high school is hard, especially as a senior. At age 17, Derek moves with his family from North Carolina to Utah. Derek learns about the unwritten laws of dating in Utah, and that his mom and dad have a history at his new school—a history that threatens his future.

Set in 1986, Bring Down the Rain is a story of loss, grief, redemption, hope, and making life altering choices.

Wonderfully engaging story

One of the things I loved about this story was how it was set in the late 1980s. I grew up then. There was a great sense of nostalgia that made the story more enjoyable. Derek is an easy guy to cheer for. He's been through a lot. His struggles felt real. A surprising part of the story is how well the other characters are developed. I found myself as interested in them as much as Derek. Best of all, I felt a deep sense of satisfaction when I finished the book. I'm looking forward to listening to it again. The narrator did a great job bringing the story to life without being distracting. Highly recommended!
