HALF GOD OF RAINFALL (HB)

From the award-winning poet and playwright behind Barber Shop Chronicles, The Half-God of Rainfall is an epic story and a lyrical exploration of pride, power and female revenge. There is something about Demi. When this boy is angry, rain clouds gather. When he cries, rivers burst their banks and the first time he takes a shot on a basketball court, the deities of the land take note. His mother knows that the Gods have the same fragile egos as men. She knows they will one day tire of sports fans and their misdirected prayers. When that moment comes, only the women in Demi’s life will stand between him and a lightning bolt.
