Author Crystal Hoblit at Brookville Branch
Crystal Hoblit’s first novel, Catching Raindrops, tells the story of 12-year-old Maggie who visits Dayton in 1913 when the great flood strikes. She endures heart-wrenching tragedy and harrowing danger as she attempts to escape the devastation.
“I’ve always been intrigued by this event in Ohio history and I wanted to teach a new generation about what happened through this piece of historical fiction,” says Hoblit.
