The only person she sees regularly is Henry who comes after school for drawing lessons.When a girl in Henry's class goes missing Jen is pulled back into the depths of her own past. When she was Henry's age she lost her father and her best friend Michael - both within a week. The whole town talked about it then and now nearly forty years later they're talking about it again.Everyone is waiting - for the girl to be found and the summer rain to arrive. At last when the answers do come like the wet it is in a drenching revitalising downpour.
