Publisher's Summary
Dinah Taylor has an orderly life that is just how she likes it. A perfectly furnished luxury apartment, a satisfying career as a scientist and CEO of her own company, and an uncomplicated personal life. But all of that changes when she meets seven-year-old Jonah. The boy shows up one day, a scruffy dog by his side, in front of her office building. Dinah knows nothing about kids and even less about animals, but after she buys him breakfast, he shows up the next day...and the next. She tries to learn more about him, to help him, but he's remarkably skilled at evading her questions. And then, late one night, he calls her in a panic - his dog has been badly injured. Dinah rushes them to a local animal clinic, where she meets Garret, a veterinarian with a thriving practice and a passion for drawing. Though Jonah takes to Garret right away, for some reason neither understands, Dinah and Garret just don't mesh. But for Jonah's sake, their lives continue to collide, and slowly the relationship between these three strangers begins to change.

Big fan here of Rosamaude Pilcher & Maeve Binchy. So it's nice to find a new enjoyable author. This audible held my interest, No need to hit fast forward, major plus for me! Looking forward to another Snelling book.

What a lovely story, and it clearly shows God's incredible love, that He calls us when we are still unbelievers, and also the more stubborn we are, the harder the pull! The narrator was excellent.

A Moral Book that does not preach
What made the experience of listening to Heaven Sent Rain the most enjoyable?
I quickly liked the characters, believed them, and cared what happened to them. They did realistic things, and had believable feelings. While the story involves the welfare of the child, the author doesn't stoop to child endangerment, rather she used child endearment to involve the audience. I loved that.
What did you like best about this story?
The evolution of the characters - the plot was compelling.
Have you listened to any of Kristin Kalbli’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No. But I would listen to her again.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I tried! But it was deliciously long.
Any additional comments?
This is my first book by this author, but I am going to purchase another. What a find, a modern book that doesn't rely upon cheap tricks to involve the reader! I found myself thinking about this book for days after. I highly recommend it.

Was a disappointment
While I normally like Snelling's books, this one was a disappointment. I kept waiting for something to develop. Instead there were a few leaps forward at different points, but no real development of characters. Very disappointed.

Wonderful sheart wrenching story
Have read many books by this author but I must say that this story really did make tears come to my eyes. Jonah being left an orphan an Dinah being blindsided into a guardian ship she was not prepared for made for an excellent storyline. The author definitely did not let this reader down. Intend to add the book to my book case collection of her books that I already have for easy second reading
