Rebecca Stott was born into a closed Christian sect which believed the world was ruled by Satan: women were made to wear headscarves, non-sect books were forbidden and those who disobeyed the rules were punished.
Decades later, as Rebecca's father lay dying, he begged her to help him write the story of their family, who for generations had worshipped in the Brethren's 'Iron Room' - and of his own part in enforcing those rules.
In In the Days of Rain Rebecca gathers the broken threads of her father's story, and her own, into a powerful exploration of the fault-lines between faith and doubt, duty and love.
