Rain Shadow

Set in the Pacific Northwest, Rain Shadow tells the tale of an abandoned, savagely wounded mare that forms a bond with a lonely young woman struggling to rebuild her life after suffering devastating loss. Inspired, in part, by a true story, Rain Shadow offers a compelling and tender look into the healing power of the human-animal bond. It is a timely exploration of the increasingly popular and effective use of horses in therapy, by award-winning writer Catherine Madera. Madera paints a story rich with complicated individuals—both human and animal—and uses culture and geography unique to the area to enhance the plot.
