C. asked Christie Cote:

How did you come up with the idea for Rain?

Christie Cote I had an assignment for my fiction writing class in college. The teacher wanted something that was realistic instead of "genre," and I had wanted to work on an apocalyptic story. I have always been interested in anything medical, so I started a story about a girl being diagnosed with leukemia. I never expected to become so involved with it, but once I started I had to keep writing. The next thing I knew, I had finished my first book. :)
