Passing Rain a memoir front cover

Passing Rain Release Day

Today is the official release day for “Passing Rain” (available in ebook and paperback) and I’ve had the great pleasure of spending it with my wonderful Liz Graham and my fabulous Lindsey Graham. My heart is full.

In addition to release day, this is the day my beautiful, complicated, and brave Jessie (aka Rain) would have celebrated her 33rd birthday.

This is for you, Jess. Love you always.

Passing Rain – Cover Reveal

I’m excited to share the result of my wonderful Elizabeth Graham’s hard work. I couldn’t be more pleased to present the cover for “Passing Rain.”

As a parent, I never thought I’d:
– Witness a hair cutting party for my oldest daughter, who wanted a wig made of her own hair for when the chemo rendered her bald
– Shop online for sperm with that same daughter, because she’d already picked names for her four children
– Plan a “Viking funeral” for my sweet Jessie, or Rain, as she was known by many of her friends

Maybe I should have included a spoiler alert, but this isn’t a story where I keep you in suspense about whether Rain won her battle or not. It’s the story of her passing, in which she did triumph, as she managed this course with grace, peace and an ample measure of bravery.
