Above the Rain

I talked to her, without sign language. I verbally spoke, as if it were the most natural thing in the world to do. Like lifelong friends, we talked for several hours. And I had the strangest feeling she had been there before—even though it was my dream. At the end of the dream, she told me something I knew would be the most important thing I would ever hear. She whispered a message in my ear…but it was gone. I tried so hard to remember. What did she say? ~ ~ ~ Zach is dreaming when he meets Lourdes, but she isn’t. The first visit to this special place for twelve-year-olds is always through a dream. Return visits are real, but so are the tests and challenges from a world that can read minds. As Zach desperately tries to find his way back, he discovers a magical world unlike anything he has ever imagined—and a friendship he never expected. But Lourdes has a frightening secret of her own, and it may cause Zach to lose the only friend he’s ever had. And the magical world they both love may be lost forever. Above the Rain is a story of friendship, hope, and seeking a better place.
