RAIN ALREADY KNOWS HOW HARD LIFE CAN BE. BUT SHE IS ABOUT TO DISCOVER A SHATTERING SECRET FROM THE PAST THAT WILL CHANGE HER FUTURE FOREVER.... Growing up in the ghettos of Washington, D.C., the cards are stacked against a hardworking dreamer like Rain Arnold. Rain has fought to be the best daughter she can: she studies hard and gets good grades; she helps her mother cook and clean. And unlike her defiant younger sister, she avoids the dangers of the city streets as if her life depends on it...and it does. But Rain can't suppress the feeling that she has never truly fit in, that she is a stranger in her own world. Then one fateful night, Rain overhears something she shouldn't: a heartbreaking revelation from the past, a long-buried secret that is about to change her life in ways she never could have imagined. In the blink of an eye, everything Rain has ever known -- the family she has loved and the familiar place she has called home is left behind, and Rain is sent to live with total strangers, the wealthy Hudson family. But just as she did not belong to the troubled world she was raised in, Rain is also out of place in this realm of luxury and privilege. With nowhere to turn, Rain finds an escape in the theater, inside the walls of an exclusive private school. But will it be enough to fulfill her heart's deepest wish -- and give her a place to call home?… (meer)

I read through this whole book in less than 24 hours. Just like other V.C. Andrews books I've read, it was a great read. I can't wait to get through the rest of the books in this series. ( )

“Worry and trouble weighed heavily on the hands of her clock, rushing time along.”
― V.C. Andrews, Rain

I did not care for this. The problem for me is that all these types of books follow the same rules.which is that girl heroine is victimized and shamed again and again. I do not know why I thought it would be different with Rain.

Believe it or not I have read some of Andrews books that I quite liked, My Sweet Audrina being one of them. Rain was a tough choice though. It was a grueling read, gloomy and dark, with no trace of anything good or decent happening through most of the book. It was a slog to get through. Did not enjoy this one very much. ( )

I love Rain and I love her story. This book is no where near as good as Flowers in the Attic but I have to say the entire series had its ups and downs. The first book in the story was great and I loved it the only problem I have with the book is what is up with the brothers falling in love with the sisters. If you lived your life as a brother then you should love someone as your sister not as something more. Strange .. Otherwise I love Rain! ( )

Yeah. V.C. Andrews. Wow. Everyone who writes as V.C. Andrews seems to think that they must include some form of incestuous activity, preferably more than once. Except, this writer wasn't exactly comfortable with it, so s/he kept sort of ducking the issue - or making it 'all right' in the terms of the book. Very odd. Plus, book suffered from a distinct case of 'Mary Jane' syndrome. It was tiring after a while. And the author oversimplified villains. Didn't give actual motivation for their rabid hate. And sometimes s/he would show someone was a villain by a simple, basically meaningless action - like the fact that they had sex, or enjoyed pot. At the least, it was a quick read. It's part of a series, but I'd avoid every one. 0.5/10. For grammatical English. ( )
