The Rain Crow

Set in the rural lands of central Michigan, The Rain Crow follows the journey of a young man who is struggling to find a place in a life without a place for him. With a mother now dead and a father emotionally absent, Rudy is left with the family's crumbling dairy farm. He must choose between his own promising future and what remains of his relationship with his father. As the conflict between Rudy and his father escalates, Rudy unravels the truth about his family, himself, and ultimately, the man he wants to become. Written with stylistic simplicity and poignant immediacy, The Rain Crow captures the barrenness of the American landscape and the people who live it. Colier's stark prose leads a compassionate investigation into the human heart, exposing the destructive power of delusion while promoting an endless potential for growth and renewal.
