It hasn't rained in Michigan for a long while, and Billy Forché's parents are worried they will lose the farm. Billy is tired of his silent father and is glad when his father's stepbrother, Andrew Forché, comes to the farm to dry out and bring rain. That's Andrew's gift: He can make it rain. Or so they say. Billy's father thinks it's all fairy tales and nonsense, but Billy and his mother hope the storm poet can do his magic and save them all. (This short story first appeared in Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine.)
