Rockhampton-born author Leigh K Cunningham, now based in Singapore, has just found out her first adult novel Rain has hit number one on the Amazon Best Seller List for Best Domestic Life Fiction in time for Christmas. This is pretty exciting news for Leigh given Rain is an independent novel and also won two awards this year. She is a lawyer who has worked as a senior executive for public companies in Australia. Leigh was born and raised in Rockhampton and lived with her husband in Sydney and Melbourne before moving to Singapore in 2004 where she moved into a new career as a writer. Leigh has since written and independently released three award-winning books. Rain is set in provincial Australia in the early sixties. It explores the enduring but complex ties btween mothers and daughters, men and women: the sacrifices, compromises and patterns of emotion that repeat themselves between generations.
