Birds in the Rain

A story of love, loss, resilience, and the courage it takes to find hope in the darkest moments.

When sixteen-year-old Michael Cape disappears on the eve of a devastating war, only one person, Marc, knows his whereabouts.

For Michael’s mother Layla, a young widow still reeling from the death of her husband, Marc is the one person she was trying to avoid. He is also the only person who could help her.

As Layla and Marc search desperately for Michael, each dead end forces them to confront their own painful histories. Their relationship unravels and they must come to terms with their own tumultuous pasts.

Set against the chaos of the 2006 Lebanese–Israeli war, Birds in the Rain is a gripping story of love, loss, resilience, and the courage it takes to find hope in the darkest moments.
