When The Rain Stops - Paperback

by David Lewis (Editor), John Callas (Author)

A young man rises from the ghetto and struggles against neglect and abuse to become a Hollywood director. My father died ten days after my third birthday and I grew up in a ghetto. The neighborhood was unforgiving, I got into trouble, and my mother sent me away to military school when I was twelve. Life didn't get any better for a long time. Facing my experiences was too painful at first, so I wrote When The Rain Stops as a novel. But that seemed dishonest, and I started again and wrote my story, about my journey from scared ghetto-kid to Hollywood director.
