The Rain Catchers

A girl named Grayling is fourteen and living with her grandmother and some other older women. Her father had been killed and her mother is bluntly too busy with her own life to deal with Grayling.

This is basically just a novel about average life for Grayling; her relationship to the other women in the house, her first date, a trip to visit her mother in San Francisco that doesn't go well, etc.

What is most interesting is the comparison of the relatively quiet and peaceful country-type life that Graying and the other women lead vs. the very scary, harsh and dangerous life that is pictured for San Francisco. It's an extremely sharp contrast.

The book is fairly interesting but nothing spectacular.
