In Time Passes Like Rain, Laura and friends set out on a journey through the rain forest. Their mission is to brave the elements in order to climb the country’s highest mountain. Sounds simple – but there is always the exception. During the first leg of their journey, they arrive in a city that is experiencing a political uproar. Due to their unfortunate timing, they too get drawn into the midst of it and find themselves trapped in a dangerous, deadly snare. Miraculously they survive only to find themselves fighting for their lives in the rain forest. Time Passes Like Rain poses a story of women struggling to survive in the wild and the populous. Burrus knows how to narrate an intriguing tale. Harry Burrus is a multi-talented author, playwright, poet, photographer and that only scratches the surface.
