Black Rain This is a story about me, about who I am, about how I got to be me, and about the people who helped mold me in to Makayla Carlie. There comes a time when life’s disappointments start to add up. When you can’t cry one more tear. When you can’t feel that surge of panic one more time, or when you can’t pray for one more day. You wonder, are we humans having a spiritual experience, or are we spirits having a human experience? What does it all mean? Do we all have a purpose? People said I was a hero—that I could persevere through anything I put my mind to. How could I be a hero when I never got a choice? Nobody asked me. I did what I hope anyone reading this would do. While one life was taken too soon, another needed to live, really live. She needed to be the center of somebody’s universe. I was that universe. Just like the Pea under the mattress, I felt her. Midnight Rain Sometimes things have to fall apart before they can fall back together. Sometimes you have to lose in order to find. Sometimes you have to hurt before you can love. Sometimes one little soul is all you need to put it all together. You walked with Makayla through her story. You know where she came from and how she became the person she is. You laughed and fell in love with Pea. You watched the pain and sorrow of life, but you also watched a little girl blossom into a beautiful morning rose. You witnessed the love and connections between this little family, and learned first hand, how strong they really were. Midnight Rain picks up where Black Rain left off. What happens AFTER the happily ever after? Better yet; what happened before the story ever began? How did Blake grow into the man you met in Black Rain? What comes next for Mikki? Will true love prevail, or will the past haunt the future? Not only will you feel bumps left in Mikki's life, you'll also feel the ones Blake must hurdle in Midnight Rain.
