After the Rain
Overview & Summary
Fifteen-year-old Rachel, the youngest in her family and prone to constant worry, is unexpectedly called upon to accompany her difficult, emotionally closed-off grandfather Izzy on daily walks after he is diagnosed with terminal cancer, and in their time together she discovers depths in him -- and in herself -- that neither had ever shown before. Norma Fox Mazer's Newbery Honor novel is a tender exploration of mortality, family, and unexpected intimacy across generations.
