Send Down the Rain by Charles Martin was a risk I am so glad I took! This novel is far outside of my normal reading genre of historical fiction.  I chose to read it based on the fact that Martin is the author of The Mountain Between Us.  I enjoyed the turmoil and intense relationship between the characters in the movie and figured I would give this novel a try. Send Down the Rain did not disappoint!

The central character in Send Down the Rain is Joseph, Vietnam Vet who has spent most of his life in anguish.  He has lost everything including the love of his life. This story is riveting, fast-paced, action-packed, and a page turner! It is also centered on a life long unrequited love story.  If you are looking for a novel to hold your interest this summer, Send Down the Rain is your book! If you are in a reading slump (happens to the most devout book lover), this is your book!

I truly enjoyed Charles Martin’s new title Send Down the Rain. I requested a copy from BookLookBloggers in search of a new favorite author and I feel as though i was successful. I was not required to give this title a positive review. All opinions and enthusiasm are my own.
