Drink the Rain — Cynthia Davis

Two starry nights one in New York, the other on a desolate African plain... Under the falling stars of a cold November sky, Christina Brannigan's life seems deceptively clear. Until the dark clouds of an approaching storm bring trouble that doesn't dissolve with the snow. A sting operation, a lost letter, and a roadside breakdown bring her toward a crossroads under the winding path of the Milky Way. What happens next depends on the answer to a question asked in a tin shack church by a barefoot guy with an easy smile.
