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.
As Vivian Greene said, ‘Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning how to dance in the rain.’
