Description:When Maggie's vibrant young husband, father to a five-year-old daughter and an unborn son, walks away from everyone he loves and kills himself, Maggie is left widowed and due to give birth three months later to their second child. Then her beloved mother, backbone of the family, dies suddenly of aggressive cancer. In two short years, Maggie's life has shattered. After a year, she gives up trying to juggle single motherhood and the demands of an academic career and returns with her children to her mother's family farm in central western New South Wales to take stock. Here she finds light and space, and a chance at something new. The farm becomes a redemptive, healing place for Maggie and her children as they battle the heat and drought that only the Australian landscape can offer. She throws herself into the horses, sheep, ducks and chickens and slowly, realises she has found a new shape for herself. Written in lyrical, haunting prose, When it Rains is not only a meditation on grief and the vagaries of the human condition, it is a triumphant story of piecing back a life and a family, and moving forward, one step at a time.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
