Curtis, the artistic guy she likes, seems to be avoiding her, making her feel alone and lonely. On top of lots of difficult homework and an awful part-time job, she also has problems at home. Her dying aunt has come to live with her family, Naomi's mother seems to be on the verge of a breakdown, and her Polish father is absent and unsupportive. How can Naomi overcome all these negatives in her life? Over three harrowing months on the eve of the new millennium, the story emerges of a young woman finding strength and of a broken family mending. The action and circumstances of the book are laid bare in a series of diary entries, not only by Naomi, but also by her boyfriend, her mother, her mothers boyfriend, and Naomi's employer, giving the reader a much fuller understanding of what brings Naomi and her mother to the brink of despair - and back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Heather Kirk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1894917103\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781894917100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Napoleon and Co\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.44h x 5.20w x 0.55d","brand":"Heather Kirk","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46962699174143,"sku":"9781894917100","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4d9c82da-933f-49fb-a874-730756968f17.jpg?v=1750652259","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-drop-of-rain-heather-kirk-9781894917100","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
