About this listen

New York Times best-selling author Charles Martin offers us “grace, mercy, and forgiveness in this sweeping love story" (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

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.

“Charles Martin understands the power of story and he uses it to alter the souls and lives of both his characters and his readers.” (Patti Callahan Henry, New York Times best-selling author)

Good story

I like the quiet voice of the narrator and lived the story. I was never sure how the story was going to end but enjoyed how it finally did end.
The challenge for me was the slow start but it soon became a story I didn’t want to put down

Good all round!

It's sad, it's lovely, it's beautiful, it's heartbreaking, it's relatable but most of all, it's a great story, about the effects of love and hate, the bonds of family and a mother's prayer and the power of forgiveness, that's very well narrated. His (narrator's) voice is beautiful!

Excellent!

I recently discovered Charles Martin and have been devouring his books ever since. I love that he includes suspense, humor, and romance within all the twists and turns. It's hard to stop listening even when you know you should be going to sleep, or back to work.
He is an excellent writer.
