When Crickets
Cry by Charles
Martin
Realistic
Fiction
A man with a painful
past, a child with a doubtful future, and a shared journey toward healing for
both their hearts. On the shaded town square of a sleepy Southern town. a
spirited seven-year-old has a brisk business at her lemonade stand. But the
little girl's pretty yellow dress can't quite hide the ugly scar on her chest.
Her latest customer, a bearded stranger, drains his cup and heads to his car,
his mind on a boat he's restoring at a nearby lake. The stranger understands
more about the scar than he wants to admit. And the beat-up bread truck
careening around the corner with its radio blaring is about to change the
trajectory of both their lives. Before it's over, they'll both know there are
painful reasons why crickets cry . . . and that miracles lurk around unexpected
corners.
This book has
such a strong message, it truly fills the reader with hope - - - - after
squeezing lots of emotions into your life and out of your soul. The characters
became so real, I found it hard to disconnect from the drama of the story when
it was time to close the cover. The story holds up to reading again and
again.
I DO
recommend this book to others – constantly! I even own multiple copies of it so
I can loan ‘em to several friends at the same time.
