Rain

When Jeanne realizes her guests expect her to mother the world, she sells her bed-and-breakfast and moves into an RV. She expects the peace of solitude on the road, but instead she finds that RV camps are home to a flexible community of people who know how to make friends quickly. One of her temporary neighbors is a college student whose husband has disappeared without a trace. Dismayed by the in-laws who come looking for her neighbor in order to threaten and blame, Jeanne gets involved. Another neighbor, a retired cop, reacts protectively, too. Their questions quickly lead into the complex worlds of university rules, and alternative healing, and family history. Their innocent offer of friendly helpfulness ultimately entangles them in a network of secrets and hate and self-satisfied violence.Cary Brown has been a librarian, a university professor, and a writer. Listening to family plans about a small business venture to be launched someday soon in Oregon, she realized travel is what holds her life together. Her love of the land makes RV camping with her Irish terrier the only right way to stay in touch with far-flung family and places and friends.Brown, Cary is the author of 'Rain', published 2006 under ISBN 9781594144240 and ISBN 1594144249.
