Rain Remembers - E-book - ePub

"A satisfying, well-written, and authentic sequel highlighting the ways healing and self-love are ongoing processes." -Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Comrie again proves skilled in discussing topics of harassment, mental health, and (via a subplot about a friend's uncle) the deportation system, in verse as lyrically captivating as that of its predecessor. Rain and her friends remain sympathetic characters to connect with and root for." -Horn Book ReviewsIn the companion novel to the critically acclaimed Rain Rising, Rain must once again find the strength to rise above.
