Product Description

Her sister becomes involved with gang members, is drugged at a party and then sexually explicit photos are taken of her and used for blackmail. Rain tries to intervene but is unsuccessful and ultimately witnesses her sister's murder; thus becoming a threat to the gang leader. Rain’s mother secretly contacts what turns out to be Rain's real mother who is white. Rain’s biological mother reluctantly agrees to protect her and Rain is placed in the home of her grandmother, a wealthy white woman. Rain is placed in a private boarding school for the gifted which culminates into Rain's emergence as a talented singer and musician.

A captivating story and powerful performances make RAIN one of the best films of the year. Prepare for a creative twist on the "COMING OF AGE" story infused with an unforgettable soundtrack. Don't let this opportunity pass you by, experience RAIN for yourself.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ehh it was ok., August 15, 2007

By	Stephanie Stewart "Stephanie" (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've read VC Andrews since I was a child. Personally I think they should have made a movie about the Casteel Series before the Hudson Series. I still purchased the DVD b/c I am a loyal reader. It didn't follow the story of the book which is normal for most movies. It's just that certain things were so off, like in the book Rain was into theater, in the movie she was a singer. I can understand changing some things to make it flow better as a movie but changing things about the character just seemed unnecessary and it left a bad taste in my mouth. If you are a VC Andrews fan I would buy this dvd just to add it to your collection but I'd recommend you DO NOT read Rain before watching it.

I loved it! I sincerely hope they will make more V.C. Andrews movies and mini-series! The movie was excellently done; wonderful music score; and perfect casting. And it makes you want to read the entire series.
