The Rainy Year is a work of fiction, of nature, of spirituality, along with a protest against war. The protagonist, Arthur Finstead, is a first year science teacher who accepts a position in Sturgeon Falls, a small Finnish community on the northern border of Minnesota. The story relates his experiences with students, faculty, and their parents against a background of the war in Vietnam and the anxiety of being drafted into the army by the Selective Service system.
