Right as Rain by Lindsey Stoddard

Right as Rain by Lindsey Stoddard

A Kirkus Best Book of 2019! 

From the critically acclaimed author of Just Like Jackie comes a strikingly tender novel about one family's heartbreak and the compassion that carries them through, perfect for fans of Sara Pennypacker, Lisa Graff, and Ann M. Martin. 

It's been almost a year since Rain's brother Guthrie died, and her parents still don't know it was all Rain's fault. In fact, no one does--Rain buried her secret deep, no matter how heavy it weighs on her heart.

So when her mom suggests moving the family from Vermont to New York City, Rain agrees. But life in the big city is different. She's never seen so many people in one place--or felt more like an outsider.

With her parents fighting more than ever and the anniversary of Guthrie's death approaching, Rain is determined to keep her big secret close to her heart. But even she knows that when you bury things deep, they grow up twice as tall.

Readers will fall in love with the pluck and warmth of Stoddard's latest heroine and the strength that even a small heart can lend.

One year of secrets. A new city full of strangers. And a chance to start running toward the truth.

• Moving to a New City: From the quiet gardens of Vermont to the bustling streets of New York City, Rain must navigate a new school, new neighbors, and the overwhelming feeling of being an outsider.
• Unlikely Friendships: Just when she feels most alone, Rain connects with a team of runners who might just understand what it means to have each other's backs, on and off the track.
• A Powerful Story About Running: Rain is a gifted runner, and the track is the one place she can begin to outrun her grief. But can she race toward a future she's not sure her family can share?
• A Heartfelt Family Story: As the anniversary of her brother Guthrie's death looms, Rain's secret feels heavier than ever. A moving exploration of family, forgiveness, and the courage it takes to heal.
