Passing Storm

Rae Langdon has reached her early thirties and is coping with a grief she did not see coming. She works alongside her father, Connor, on the family's forty-acre farm in Ohio, a property that has seen more prosperous years. Memories keep resurfacing, some of them too painful to face, and the farm feels both like a refuge and a reminder.

When a brutal winter sets in, Rae takes in Quinn Galecki, a teenager his parents have forced out of their home. They have struggled to guide the misunderstood boy through his own losses. Quinn settles in with the Langdons, and a shared history ties the three of them together, since each understands the others' pain. Much of what happened in the past remains hidden.

To move forward, Rae has to face those buried truths and stand up for Quinn, whose parents want something very different for him. The story follows her search for forgiveness and a fresh start in a life she had come to believe was beyond repair.
