Sheila Gordon, a novelist born in Johannesburg, South Africa on January 22, 1927, is the author of Waiting for the Rain, The Middle of Somewhere, and Unfinished Business. She grew up in South Africa, but later moved to the United States and now lives in New York City.

Waiting for the Rain tells the story of two boys growing up on a farm in South Africa during the Apartheid era. The friendship between the two boys dissipates as they grow older because one of them, who is black, seeks political equality, while the other boy, who is white, wants everything to stay the same.

Sheila lives in Brooklyn, New York with her husband of over 60 years, Harley Gordon, and they have three children- David, Philippa and Neil- and five wonderful grandchildren- Sophie, Leila, Annie, Jake, and Evie.
