A hardboiled novel about life in the American underground, from the pool halls of Portland to the cells of San Quentin. Simply one of the finest books ever written about being down on your luck. Don Carpenter’s Hard Rain Falling is a tough-as-nails account of being down and out, but never down for good—a Dostoyevskian tale of crime, punishment, and the pursuit of an ever-elusive redemption. The novel follows the adventures of Jack Levitt, an orphaned teenager living off his wits in the fleabag hotels and seedy pool halls of Portland, Oregon. Jack befriends Billy Lancing, a young black runaway and pool hustler extraordinaire. A heist gone wrong gets Jack sent to reform school, from which he emerges embittered by abuse and solitary confinement. In the meantime Billy has joined the middle class—married, fathered a son, acquired a business and a mistress. But neither Jack nor Billy can escape their troubled pasts, and they will meet again in San Quentin before their strange double drama comes to a violent and revelatory end.

It's 1998, and Jim Diffin is a charming, reckless, college sophomore with a unique moral code, a crew of wild friends, and no interest in serious relationships. That is, until he meets Diana Huntington, a precocious teenager who doesn't fall for him so easily and embodies everything he's ever wanted. The longer they date, the more her cool aloofness entrances him. His friends, a memorably eclectic mix of social outcasts offer no shortage of dubious advice and the usual relief of tea with his mother will lose its typical solace once he learns she has worse troubles herself. And while comforting his mother, weighing the insights of his friends, and agonizing over Diana, his mindset opens to a new way, but can his compassion, patience and burgeoning enlightenment ever win him the girl? In the course of The Way Rain Falls, blind hope and frenzied despair send Jim careening from candle-lit dinners to street fights, intimate camp-outs to a drug fueled road trip to Canada, and an indiscretion Jim may never live down.

Let The Rain Fall is a collection of poems and prose by Lauren Cohen that are a cathartic expression of the struggles occurring within modern society and humanity's existential dilemmas. Her words tell stories often difficult to articulate; stories of pain and grief, healing and growth, oppression and liberation, and light and love. These stories are portrayed through the lens of Lauren's perceptions of her own struggles and those of her friends, people in the community, and the world as a whole. Lauren creates poetic tension that invites the reader to immerse themselves in these universal existential challenges. Despite the dark clouds and menacing storms as the rain falls, eventually the sun breaks through, and with light, we find our way home to a place of healing and growth.
