Summary: A moving story of hope and perseverance
Review: A deftly written novel which is especially appropriate for a young adult readership, A Drop Of Rain by Heather Kirk is the story of a sixteen-year-old girl, starting at a new high school. Struggling with schoolwork, a lousy part-time job, the estrangement of the artistic guy she likes, and the sad toll of watching her aunt die and her mother inch closer to a nervous breakdown, she must find the strength to sustain herself and help her familiy. Written as a series of diary entries by various people, A Drop Of Rain is a timeless, powerful, and moving story of hope and perseverance.
