The Blue Rain

This novel is a story of a young girl, Camila, who defied poverty through self-sacrifice, strong determination, and perseverance in order to succeed in life. Camila is a dreamer, but in her journey and quest for work and education in Manila, she met horrendous obstacles that one could never imagine. Camila secluded herself for seven years, but a great awakening in her occurred. It was her turning point in life, so she struggled to rise and shine again no matter what in order to achieve her dream of changing the course of her shattered life and to become an agent of change in the life of others. This is the question: will she succeed, or will she not? Embedded in some chapters is a combination of the Filipino cultural heritage and historical touch that occurred during the 1950s (most especially during the 1970s) up to the modern time.
