The Weatherman

"Amid the stormy days of Birmingham in 1963, eleven-year-old Taylor Wakefield becomes the sole witness to a murder. But fears and family loyalties keep him silent. Fifteen years later, as a substitute weatherman for a fly-by-night broadcasting network, Taylor finally launches his spiritual comeback. He knows nothing about the weather - other than its unpredictability - but his on-air revelations and surprising forecasts unleash a whirlwind that threatens to shake the entire state to its core."--BOOK JACKET.
