Something to Stand the Rain is a biographical memoir that celebrates the often unrecognized worth of individuals beneath the radar of fame. At a time in our nation when faith in its leadership is at a low ebb, the components of a good man are laid out for review before being illustrated in the life of a man named David Dionisi, someone who rose to wealth as corporate executive before surrendering it to lift up those less fortunate than himself. Youthful longing to be a paratrooper carries him beyond a pancake landing without benefit of parachute from which, miraculously, he walks away. Military service as an intelligence officer ends when conflicting with love for the woman he marries. Though he rises rocket-like in the corporate world, his affluence leaves him dissatisfied. Moved to overwhelming compassion by the suffering of the poor and needy, he decides to devote his savings and his talents to their aid. Among the benefactions born of the foundation he launches are an orphanage in Africa-and a writing career. This emerges from realization that one of the most effective ways to lift the impoverished from their plight rests in the exposure of its unrecognized root causes.
