Hailed as People magazine's Page-Turner of the Week, with film
rights bought by Paramount, "A Dry Spell" recalls early Stephen
King with its mesmerizing story of a drought-plagued town, a
desperate woman, and the rainmaker who is their last and only hope.
Goodlands, North Dakota, has been suffering a massive drought
for the past four years. Farms are in foreclosure, people's
livelihoods are on the wane, and the town's beleaguered mortgage
lender, Karen Grange, is beginning to think she should pack up and
go back to Minneapolis.
Then Tom Keatley arrives. He calls himself a rainmaker. Karen
thinks he's a drifter. And the townsfolk -- well, the townsfolk
aren't about to trust the tall, mysterious stranger who wanders
their streets, visits their dying farms, and keeps his thoughts to
himself. They don't need an out-of-towner surveying their land,
hands in pockets, eyes looking at the sky. What they need is
rain.
What happens to Goodlands when Tom Keatley arrives is as
mysterious as the elements. And what he unleashes is much more
profound than a storm. There is a mystery behind this terrible
drought, and a message, and its unrelenting fierceness can destroy
the town of Goodlands. Tom knows this. But Karen does not. Not
yet.
Tom and Karen's love affair, elemental and profound, is
intertwined with the story of a town gripped by fear, and paralyzed
by the sickness at its core. Suspenseful and gripping from the
first page, "A Dry Spell" is a mesmerizing read.
