In the early 20th Century, a pair of North Carolina mountain children sow the seed of a love that becomes their only solace in the hard yet beautiful world they know.nbsp; They grow it from steep ground of poverty, ignorance, and violence.nbsp; A landscape so brutal it can kill hope long before claiming life. Bloodshed years later finally sends Frank Locke on the run, deep into wilderness, abandoning his extraordinary love, Mary Lizbeth.nbsp; When a whitewater river washes this desperate soul into the hands of Sophia, he discovers a luminous woman steeped in mystery, trapped in a tragically brilliant life.nbsp; Far ahead of her time.nbsp; Secreted from the world.nbsp; As she awakens Frankrsquo;s mind, they rise to meet a love that binds three people for a lifetime. This love triangle forms a beauty no one sees coming.nbsp; From the wilds of Appalachia, crossing nearly a century, it runs deep into a lush American fortune, and lives in letters of adoration and hope of the least expected. In a rhapsody of Southern voices, mingling hilarity and sorrow, She-Rain speaks of lives soaring beyond heartbreak, fundamentalism, and self-destruction.nbsp; Through the most graceful longing, two women in love with one man ultimately prove the power of human hearts to answer high callings.nbsp; They show us all how to heal -- and thrive -- to the very end. nbsp;
