Rainy was a young girl who was raised in a small town. Everybody knew everybody or at least that's what they assumed. Rainy dated a guy in highschool that had quite the reputation for getting into trouble. It wasn't that he started the trouble, he just always had to end it. Rainy spent most of her days babysittin her drunk father because her mama pretended to be working just to get away from her husband. Rainy didn't trip about her crazy life because she realized that it was common in her community to deal with low poverty situations. Just over broke, pitiful, sob story type situations. Rainy got pregnant at 16, like most of the other girls in her class at the time. It was as if something was in the water that year. The late 90s was a time Rainy would never forget. Young girls with big bellies carrying books on one hip with babies on the other. Rainy loved the river however. Had it not been for the river and the good Lord on her side; She would have lost her mind....
