Room of Rain

The collection features interconnected short stories that explore the impact of newsworthy events relayed through secondhand accounts. Themes of violence, tragedy, and societal issues are woven into narratives about a policeman's shooting, a house flipper's murder, a teacher's dismissal, a gay man's accidental drowning, and a school fire caused by a juvenile. This poignant exploration of contemporary issues reflects on how such events resonate within communities and shape individual lives.
