I loved this book; my first by Charles Martin and won't be my last. This book is about redemption and revelations but is by no means religious even though one of the 3 main characters is a priest.

It is about picking up broken pieces and moving on and how we as people can help others do just that. Two broken souls put together by one old codgedy priest with a story that will stir your heart and supersede time. The characters were amazing and well thought-out, not necessarily like-able at first but in the end you were rooting for them, especially Katie.

The different settings were so descriptive, you felt like you were there, skimming the bracken water of Florida in an air boat, walking the streets of Paris and eating chocolate croissants and exploring the chateau in Langeais.

At the end of the book I found the Q&A with the writer very insightful so be sure and check that out. Also there is a section, Doc Snakeoil. How entertaining that was and a true look into Mr. Martin....how he came to be as a writer.

It is with pleasure that I recommend this book and hope others find it as entertaining as I did.
