Description
Celebrated storyteller Jerry Apps is back with a look at the ethereal, eternal touchstone of rural life—water. Here, in the wise and welcoming prose that brought you "The Quiet Season" and "Whispers and Shadows," Apps shares memories of water on the farm, from the chore of hauling buckets each day to afternoons spent listening to the rain patter on a barn roof. Apps writes that he learned from a young age to never complain about a rainy day lest his father would admonish, "Never curse the rain!"

Description
"In Never Curse the Rain, Jerry shares his memories of water, from its importance to his family’s crops and cattle to its many recreational uses—fishing trips, canoe journeys, and the simple pleasures of an afternoon spent dreaming in the haymow as rain patters on the barn roof. Water is still a touchstone in Jerry’s life, and he explores the ways he’s found it helpful in soothing a troubled mind or releasing creativity. He also discusses his concerns about the future of water and ensuring we always have enough." -- Amazon.com
