"There was a numbness in these old scars that meant her skin had lost its sense of touch (wasn’t that the point?), but it hurt her inside, in her tummy it seemed, and only on really bad days would she deliberately open old sores. But most days, and this was one of those days, just a little nick of a reminder would do."

 

Katie, a successful investment banker and media commentator, self-harms each morning before work. Nice Guy Mike - the only man she ever allowed get close to her - steps out of her past and back into her life, unearthing secrets and memories that long lay buried in the Arizona desert.  She finds herself on a surprising emotional and physical journey, one that may change her perfect life forever. If she lets it.

 

The price we pay for the life we make.

 

Praise for Where the Rain Gets In:

"He has fashioned both an engaging casino-sting/caper story and a wiser, psychologically detailed tale of hard-won success, unrequited love and hidden personal pain."  (Irish Examiner

)"White has described his characters brilliantly and, in a feat that is not easy for any male author, has drawn a picture of an incredibly believable female character. Although White's characters appear to be damaged and hurt beyond repair, this book leaves the reader with a sense that there is hope. Very well written and with such a fantastic title, how could you resist?"  (Bibliofemme)

"It's a challenging book about a woman who cuts herself. It helps you get inside the character's head and understand self-loathing. It's exceptionally well-written."  (Martina Devlin, Irish Daily Star)
