Book Description
Rain already knows how hard
life can be. But she is about to discover a shattering secret
from the past that will change her future forever....
Growing up in the ghettos of Washington, D.C., the cards
are stacked against a hardworking dreamer like Rain Arnold.
Rain has fought to be the best daughter she can: she studies
hard and gets good grades; she helps her mother cook and
clean. And unlike her defiant younger sister, she avoids the
dangers of the city streets as if her life depends on
it...and it does. But Rain can't suppress the feeling that
she has never truly fit in, that she is a stranger in her own
world.
Then one fateful night, Rain overhears something she
shouldn't: a heartbreaking revelation from the past, a
long-buried secret that is about to change her life in ways
she never could have imagined. In the blink of an eye,
everything Rain has ever known -- the family she has loved
and the familiar place she has called home is left behind,
and Rain is sent to live with total strangers, the wealthy
Hudson family. But just as she did not belong to the troubled
world she was raised in, Rain is also out of place in this
realm of luxury and privilege. With nowhere to turn, Rain
finds an escape in the theater, inside the walls of an
exclusive private school. But will it be enough to fulfill
her heart's deepest wish -- and give her a place to call
home?
