And Then it Rained: Lessons for Life

Would you do it again… would you give Maya the letter?   Some who know about it have asked me, as if I could actually turn back time.    Would I give her the letter, knowing it would push away the person who'd been my comfort through my dad's alcoholism and parents' divorce; knowing that it would destroy a friendship I'd worked years to build; knowing I'd have to endure lies and unkindness from someone I believed in more than any other...   …knowing that the fallout would inspire me to attend my dream college; knowing I'd conquer homesickness and so many other fears there; knowing I'd make friends who'd become like family; knowing I'd find rewards I could have never imagined?   And Then It Rained: Lessons for Life is the story of how I lost my most trusted confidant... and found myself.
