Naked Rain

About the Book

Naked Rain is about an average middle-class family who faced a crisis that is, unfortunately, getting too familiar—the murder of a child. From birth to youth, we protect our children with every fiber of our being—with passion, with vigor, with pride—only to have their light extinguished. 

As parents, we struggle when we have been suddenly deprived of our future—from giving birth, welcoming them home to their new nursery, carefully burping, holding their little head and neck, feeding and changing diapers, to taking them to school. We figure out what sports they should partake in to their first car and everything in between—music lessons, extracurricular activities, having pets, detentions, successes, and failures. But never do we ever contemplate what would happen should they be insidiously taken away from us.
