DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe heart-wrenching but triumphant story of rebuilding a life and a family. 'My body, suddenly, carries two stories of loss ... One is easy for people to recognise. My mother died of cancer. I watched her age twenty-five years in eight weeks ... My other story marks me as different. It is more silent and more savage, it is not pure and no one knows how to approach it. Somewhere I lost my husband.' When Maggie Mackellar's vibrant young husband, father to a five-year-old daughter and an unborn son, dies tragically, Maggie is left widowed and due to give birth three months later to their second child. Then her beloved mother, backbone of the family, mother to three children, grandmother to two, dies suddenly of aggressive cancer. In two short years, Maggie's life has shattered. After a year, she gives up trying to juggle single motherhood and the demands of an academic career and returns with her children to the family farm in central western New South Wales to take stock and catch a breath. The farm becomes a redemptive, healing place for Maggie and her children as they battle the heat and drought that only the Australian landscape can offer. She throws herself into the horses, sheep, ducks and chickens and slowly, finally, realises she has found a new shape for herself. Written by a brilliant new talent, When It Rains is a meditation on grief and the vagaries of the human condition, and a stunning memoir about piecing back together a life, and moving forward, one step at a time. ‘An unforgettable story of love and courage that inspires even as it breaks your heart’ -- Susan Duncan

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen it was first released in 1982, When It Rains was one of the earliest published literary works in the O’odham language. Speakers from across generations shared poems that showcased the aesthetic of the written word and aimed to spread interest in reading and writing in O’odham. The poems capture brief moments of beauty, the loving bond between family members, and a deep appreciation of Tohono O’odham culture and traditions, as well as reverent feelings about the landscape and wildlife native to the Southwest. A motif of rain and water is woven throughout the poetry in When It Rains, tying in the collection’s title to the importance of this life-giving and sustaining resource to the Tohono O’odham people. With the poems in both O’odham and English, the volume serves as an important reminder of the beauty and changeability of the O’odham language. The themes and experiences expressed by the language educators in this volume capture still-rural community life: children are still bussed for miles to school, and parents still have hours-long daily commutes to work. The Sonoran Desert also remains an important part of daily life—seasons, rain on desert plants, and sacred mountains serve as important markers. In a new foreword to the volume, Sun Tracks editor Ofelia Zepeda reflects on how meaningful this volume was when it was first published and its continued importance. “Things have changed but many things remain the same,” writes Zepeda. “The pieces in this collection will be meaningful to many still.”

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen Elle Shane was a child, she had no idea what was in store for the rest of her life. That’s what being human is all about. Things happen, and people change. You learn to make the best of it. In When it Rains, it Pours, Shane offers a collection of stories and memories of a girl that focus on adolescent, teen, and young adult life. This memoir gives an overview of her life growing up in Florida and Oklahoma, explaining the hardships of growing up in a broken home among the first of many, many misfortunes to take place. Shane addresses mature topics such as alcohol, sexual assault, drugs, and domestic abuse as they all played a role in her life. While these references may be disturbing, she hopes to give a voice to other young men and women who may share similar experiences, and she seeks to end stigmas around these issues. We all have different stories, and this is Shane’s.
