Absolutely haunting. This is such a beautiful story. It's about a man who is a heart transplant surgeon and his wife dies, he goes into hiding. He meets a little girl selling lemonade and crickets because she has a heart problem and needs money for the transplant. The story is moving, heart jerking, and wonderful. It is written so beautifully, the words just flow, the visual pictures are with every page. Out of all the books i have read, this is in the top 10 of my most favorites. I loved the author and the story. It is very very haunting when you finish. I am looking for more by Mr Martin now.
