The Gentle Rain from Heaven

Athena, an Australian nurse working overseas, is raped and murdered. Her father, John, must decide whether to grant clemency to her murderer, who is facing execution by beheading. Margaret, an ex-school teacher on a career change as a junior Australian Government official, is sent in to counsel and assist the grieving man. When the situation proves predictably challenging, Margaret's daughter, Nina, provides a clarity of counsel and assistance that is so irresistibly logical it may well prove to be the most practical solution.
