Seven middle-life women—queer and straight—go camping for a weekend in late summer 2024. Lex is dealing with a fresh breakup from her boyfriend. Sonia doesn’t want to talk about her unhealthy marriage. Connie’s a former indie rocker with a partner who has the career she once wanted. Tag is a lesbian elder and outdoorswoman, questioning her career in the post-pandemic world. Mayim is underemployed, single, and grappling with the consequences of nearly dying as a child. Hazel and Avery are former partners, married to other people, and missing these kinds of days together.

From flaming marshmallow sculptures to lightning strikes on tents, deep personal stories told while splashing in a kettle pond to quiet late-night tears over what-could-have-been, the seven women are challenged by the elements, their lives at home, and one another… all in the hopes of returning home with something they’ve been missing.

A novel of queer joy and female friendship, SIXTY PERCENT CHANCE OF RAIN asks the question… when looking back at your life, would you trade what you have, for something else?
