When David Rainwater arrives at the house looking for lodging, he comes recommended by a trusted friend as "a man of impeccable character". But Ella senses that admitting Mr. Rainwater will bring about unsettling changes.
However, times are hard, and in order to make ends meet, Ella's house must remain 100 percent occupied. So Mr. Rainwater moves into her house...and impacts her life in ways Ella could never have foreseen.
The changes are echoed by the turbulence beyond the house walls. Friends and neighbors who've thus far maintained a tenuous grip on their meager livelihoods now face foreclosure and financial ruin. In an effort to save their families from homelessness and hunger, farmers and cattlemen are forced to make choices that come with heartrending consequences.
The climate of desperation creates a fertile atmosphere for racial tensions and social unrest. Conrad Ellis -- privileged and spoiled and Ella's nemesis since childhood -- steps into this arena of teeming hostility to exact his vengeance and demonstrate the extent of his blind hatred and unlimited cruelty. He and his gang of hoodlums come to embody the rule of law, and no one in Gilead, Texas, is safe. Particularly Ella and Solly.
In this hotbed of uncertainty, Ella finds Mr. Rainwater a calming presence. She is moved by the kindness he shows other boarders, Solly...and Ella herself. Slowly, she begins to rely on his soft-spokenness, his restraint, and the steely resolve of his convictions.

Rainwater wasn't as highly rated as some of her newer ones and I wasn't sure what I was buying. This story grabbed me more and more as the book went on.
It was part romance which was played out so beautifully for the times in the early 1900's and Ella's Autistic son was described so sweet. Mr. Rainwater comes into Ella's life and turns it upside down with slow and sweet determination.
The ending is sad, but realistic and I did tear up and had to sit there a while to let it all sink in.
Victor Slezak makes all her books so much better with his 10 star narration. I will purchase all of his narrated books. He is that good. I'm so sorry he isn't narrating anymore.
This is worth a credit even though it's only 7 hours.
