Courtne Comrie

Thirteen-year-old Rain relies on her older brother, Xavier, for joy while living with sadness, fears about the future, and painful feelings about her appearance. After Xavier is severely attacked by a group of white fraternity members, Rain’s distress intensifies; she struggles at school and uses self-harm to cope. When Xavier returns home with PTSD, Rain begins receiving support from a teacher, a group, therapy, and family conversations.
