Summary
Workaholic Erin Ryder was on the fast track to self-destruction. Reeling after her lover walked out on her, she turned to booze and caffeine to make it through each day. After a family intervention, she finds herself on a remote ranch in New Mexico - on womyn’s land - to detox and heal. No cell service, no internet - she’s convinced she won’t last three days, much less for the three-month sentence her father has mandated.
Running from the chaos that had become her life, Melanie West moved to Eagle Bluff Ranch seven years ago. By far the youngest there, she embraced the compassionate, peaceful life that the elders espoused. Living off what her garden produced, her chickens and goats became her friends and confidants. Exposure to the outside world was limited to the handful of guests who stayed a few days at the ranch each year.
This summer would be different. Melanie found herself hosting a young woman for three months. A young woman who wanted to be anywhere but there. As the days and weeks passed, their animosity turned to friendship as they helped the other heal from their past failures.
Erin soon found herself loving life on Mel’s little farm. Loving life and loving Mel. Saying goodbye would be the hardest thing she had to do - saying goodbye to Mel...or saying goodbye to her previous life.

My favourite Gerri Hill Novel
This was perfect , I really enjoyed The mainly gentleness allowing me to get to know the characters. And boy what characters Gerri Hill has created here , they are so well written and fleshed out. I even felt sorry for Rachel and her beans . There is a bit of drama and a confrontation but the majority of the book is about how the two main characters Melanie and Erin heal and find their way back to themselves .
The way Mel and Erin gradually open up and share their past is very well paced and well done .
I really feel like I know these characters, not just through the book but know them .
On a personal level it's also nice to read about a group of fellow vegetarians
Nicol Zanzarella narration is perfect, her soft tone suiting the book very well and she really brings the words to life
I highly recommend After the summer rain to anyone who likes lesbian romance and great characters

quiet retreat, gentle paced read
as usual i enjoyed Gerri Hills style of writing, the storyline could have had a bit more depth in places, but still a pleasant tale... maybe lacking a little punch in places that could've been more powerful, but still enjoyable and as usual nicely narrated by Nicole

Fantastic
Ahhh...Gerri Hill just writes the most brilliant lesbian romances goddammit! This is another one of my faves. I love the setting and the small cast of characters, including animals and vegetables and food, and the gardening and the frolicking and obviously the sensual storyline. Its all so delicious. Also, this book made me roast a massive amount of veggies and drink a red bull. Weird. Power of suggestion I guess. Oh and Nicole Zanzarella is A. Mazing. I wish she would read more lesfic...
