From a valley in Africa to the Cotswolds in England, a selection of gut-wrenching and heart-warming stories on life’s challenges and celebrations.

The Rain – A Collection of Short Stories centres on the destructive and regenerative force of rain - physically, emotionally, psychologically and as a metaphor for life. From cruelty to determination, stories are set in diverse locations, each showcasing the universality of anger, loss, fear, sadness, joy, hopes and dreams.

‘The Rain,' title story, tells of a young couples’ struggle for survival in a rural location in Africa, under threat from destructive, relentless rain. The husband is desperate to provide a good home and life for his three young children and pregnant wife – losing a child to the storm is the mother’s worst nightmare. 'Penelope' is a story of a young, country woman’s dream of success when two men crush her hopes. Who are they? 'Toby' tells the heart-warming story of a loving Labrador who against all odds, puts human life before his own. 'Desert Quest,' is a brother’s and sister’s trek across the desert to find their ancestral roots. 'Romantic Recreation' will keep you dreaming of the lives of May and June.

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.

A soulful selection of short stories, on the shade and light of everyday life, in any situation, anywhere - 'a must read' any day, every day.
