Publisher's summary

Rayne Amber Storm finds her serenity on the waters of her Louisiana bayou. The moss-covered cypress trees are a canopy of protection for the thoughts that are her own. Slowly, a gentle, insistent ripple of difference stirs within her. A ripple that leads her away from her mother's Southern Baptist values to thoughts that betray the very core of what she believes is right and wrong.

When she leaves the bayou for medical school, the ripple expands until she is knocked unsteady by a powerful wave in the charismatic Samantha LeJeune. But when tragedy strikes back home, the pull of crosscurrents traps Rayne in what seems an insurmountable struggle between her heart, which now knows the true meaning of happiness, and doing what she has been taught all her life.

Is she strong enough to keep navigating through unfamiliar but thrilling waters or will she give in and paddle down the path of least resistance?

When It Raynes was originally released in general contemporary lesbian fiction for which it received a 2015 Rainbow Awards Honorable Mention and was a 2016 Golden Crown Literary Society Finalist for the Ann Bannon Popular Choice Award.

For, as proud as CD Cain was of the story, she always felt she left something missing from the original publication. So, she went back to the keyboard and revised the powerful love story of Rayne and Sam to publish as a lesbian romance with Fleur-De-Lis Books.

Beautiful, funny, and I listened twice

Even as a straight girl, who stumbled across this book accidentally, I have to say that this story is beautiful, funny, sweet, and sad. The lyrical prose of the first chapter created such a visual and I was hooked from there. There are moments that are snort chuckle funny, and the narrator does an amazing job- especially with the older lady voices. Memaw, the grandmother of the main character, was the source of much of the above mentioned snort chuckles.
Overall, this is in my top 5 books of 2020. Highly recommend.

Boring

This is a boring book and the narration could not save it. Sad. Very sad.
