'The Rain,' title story, tells of a young couple’s struggle for survival in a rural location in Africa, under threat from the destructive, relentless rain. A husband is desperate to provide a wholesome life for his three young children and pregnant wife – losing a child to the storm is a mother’s worst nightmare.

Tension, fear, hope and joy, in the rain of life, underpins each gut-wrenching and heart-warming story. Solutions to the characters’ situations appear in mysterious or practical ways, while some are left unresolved. Each story weaves through struggles that are self-inflicted or perpetrated by forces beyond human control.
