'LIFE ISN'T ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORM TO PASS. IT'S ABOUT LEARNING HOW TO DANCE IN THE RAIN.'

Portrait.jpg

This book started with a storm. Not the poetic kind or a symbolic crisis—but a real, blindsiding, life-upending, out-of-the-deepest-blue kind of storm. A lung cancer diagnosis. ALK-positive, to be exact. One day I was just living my life, and the next, I was thrown into a world of scans, meds, appointments, and the constant hum of ‘What now?’

At first, I wrote to just to stay sane. I needed a place to put

everything—my fears, my frustration, and the surprisingly funny

moments that still managed to sneak in. Writing became a kind of

lifeline, a way to make sense of the chaos. But over time, it turned

into something else. Something healing. Something beautiful.

What you’ll find in these pages isn’t just about cancer. It’s about

life—small-town life, real life, messy life. It’s about the ridiculous

things people say, the quiet grace that shows up when you least

expect it, and the odd magic of laughing through tears. It’s not always neat, but it’s honest.

The Rain Whisperer is a celebration of the human spirit’s

remarkable ability to find joy and hope in the midst of adversity.

I invite you to walk with me through these pages, to find solace in

shared experience, and to listen to the subtle whispers of wisdom

carried in every drop of rain. Let’s find the laughter that makes the

storm worth weathering.
