About this audiobook
In the quiet town of Absalom, Iowa, lonely teen Jorie finds her life transformed by her eccentric grandfather Elmer, who teaches her to hear the stories carried in rain—each drop a memory. As they navigate a town’s forgotten histories, a bitter drought, and their own family tides, Jorie discovers that the most profound history isn’t in books, but in the gentle, humanized rhythms of the weather. It’s a tale of finding home, healing, and humor in learning to listen to the slow, patient heart of a place—and each other.
