When Crickets Cry by Charles Martin

5.0

This book really had me confused at first. I had read other Charles Martin books, and loved them. But about fifteen chapters into this one, I wondered if this was the same Charles Martin I knew and loved. I couldn't figure out where he was going with his mysterious main character, or why almost half way into the book I felt like I still didn't know anything about him. But suddenly, everything fell into place. It all made sense, and from that point on, I was an emotional wreck. Charles Martin has written a beautiful story about a little girl with a physical heart that needs replacing, and a grown man with a spiritual heart that needs healing as well. Through love, he brings the two into one, and leaves you with an incredible story of love, forgiveness, peace, and healing that will take your breath away.
