That's when Tommy's mother gets the bad end of his fist and boot. Carroll, is the glue that keeps the family together. She does everything she can to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table. Tommy's dad, on the other hand, will blow every penny he can get his hands on to keep him in alcohol. The kids can go hungry and the landlord can evict them, as long as he has his drinking money. Momma's Rain is a fascinating account of a life full of poverty, abuse and addiction, and yet; survival, hope and love. As the story progresses, mother and son must consider the mysteries of their life in a world filled with impulses of curiosity along with the complexity of surviving nature, life and death.
