520 "Rebecca Stott both adored and feared her father, Roger
Stott, a high-ranking minister in the Brighton, England,
branch of the Exclusive Brethren, a separatist
fundamentalist Christian sect. A man of contradictions, he
preached that the Brethren should shun the outside world,
which was ruled by Satan, yet he kept a radio in the trunk
of his car and read Shakespeare and Yeats. Years later,
when the Stotts broke with the Brethren after a scandal
involving the cult's leader, Roger became an actor and
compulsive gambler who left the family penniless and ended
up in jail....In the Days of Rain is Rebecca Stott's
attempt to make sense of her childhood in the Exclusive
Brethren, to understand her father's role in the cult and
in the breaking apart of her family, and to come to be at
peace with her relationship with a larger-than-life figure
whose faults were matched by a passion for life, a thirst
for knowledge, and a love of literature and beauty. A
father-daughter story as well as a memoir of growing up in
a closed-off community and then finding a way out of it,
this is an inspiring and beautiful account of the bonds of
family and the power of self-invention."--Jacket .
