Step into a town where all the children are friends, but a drought has made the adults so grumpy they cant stop arguing! Only a miracle can heal this divided town. Folks are so hopeless, they almost dont recognize that miracle when it appears as a woman who specializes in rainsongs.

Joy Cowleys lyrical text and Jan Spivey Gilchrists impassioned paintings create a story of a communitys struggle to believe, and to connect with each other.
