In Embrace the Rain, Mississippi native, Michael Holloway
Perronne explores how a forbidden teen romance and the

One year after Hurricane Katrina devastated the small coastal
town of Long Beach, Mississippi, two families with deep roots in
its Southern traditions are desperately trying to rebuild the way
of life they have always known.
But some, including the Mexican-American Santos family, are
bringing a large dose of previously
all-but-unknown cultures to this insular community. While one
young man, a gay prodigal son now living in San Francisco, finds
himself drawn back to the very area and culture he fought so
hard to leave behind.
In this emotionally charged novel, three families struggle to find
the beauty that can arise from the worst of nightmares.

Reviews for "Embrace the Rain"...
Midwest Book Review, July 2008
"The lives of three families intertwine in the wake of Hurricane
Katrina. "Embrace the Rain" is the story of these families
trying to rebuild their lives following the massive disaster. In
addition to the trouble of rebuilding, a new family appears,
Mexican American, bringing their culture into the community
and causing rifts. The return of the expelled gay son of one of
the families doesn't help things. A novel exploring traditional
families dealing with radical change, "Embrace the Rain" is an
intriguing read straight through, highly recommended for
community library fiction collections. "
