Insane Rain

Living, working, and growing up on a farm in North Dakota in the 1940s and 1950s was hard, especially for the family I was born into. My mother's death when I was a teenager changed my view of the world, God, and eternity. I questioned my church's teaching and found few answers to my questions. To further complicate my life, as a baby, I developed a physical deformity that made me terribly self-conscious. Psychic experiences began to happen when I was young that, as I got older, eventually saved my life more than once and gave me ideas of how our universe, our physical being, and our spirits exist and interact with it all. I try to explain it all in this book.

If you have experienced any of these symptoms, you may be suffering from VERY BRITISH PROBLEMS. VERY BRITISH PROBLEMS are highly contagious. There is no known cure. Rob Temple's hilarious new book reveals all the ways in which we are a nation of socially awkward but well-meaning oddballs, struggling to make it through every day without apologising to an inanimate object.
