Description

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Mountain Between Us comes a new, spellbinding story of buried secrets, lost love, and the promise of second chances.

Allie is still recovering from the loss of her family’s beloved waterfront restaurant on Florida’s Gulf Coast when she loses her second husband to a terrifying highway accident. Devastated and losing hope, she shudders to contemplate the future—until a cherished person from her past returns.

Joseph has been adrift for many years, wounded in both body and spirit and unable to come to terms with the trauma of his Vietnam War experiences. Just as he resolves to abandon his search for peace and live alone at a remote cabin in the Carolina mountains, he discovers a mother and her two small children lost in the forest. A man of character and strength, he instinctively steps in to help them get back to their home in Florida. There he will return to his own hometown—and witness the accident that launches a bittersweet reunion with his childhood sweetheart, Allie.

When Joseph offers to help Allie rebuild her restaurant, it seems the flame may reignite—until a 45-year-old secret from the past begins to emerge, threatening to destroy all hope for their second chance at love.

In Send Down the Rain, Charles Martin proves himself to be a storyteller of great wisdom and compassion who bears witness to the dreams we cherish, the struggles we face, and the courage we must summon when life seems to threaten what we hold most dear.

    If you like Lifetime TV, you can get through this book. If you enjoy real literature, skip it. Way too sappy and contrived.

    A master at storytelling, this will not disappoint readers. Who does not have secrets, with time in the Vietnam war, he also has many scars, and loosing the woman he loved. Staying in a lone cabin, while his brother is a senator, and is known. Seeing the explosion, reuniting with a woman and lost dreams, will the secret destroy that too. A powerful story of an inner strength to continue on, when one has secrets, and has lost so much It will be an emotional read for readers and be glad they read, again one of his books. Given ARC copy by Fiction Guild- Thomas Nelson for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.

    Read most of his books. Some better than others. This author proves that you can write a good book without foul language and sexual content. Being a Christian I will not read anything with those. One thing keep coming to my mind when I was reading this book “Forrest Gump”. Would definitely recommend.
