Water from My Heart

A Novel

De: Charles Martin

Narrado por: Kevin Stillwell

New York Times bestselling author Charles Martin's breathtaking novel of love and redemption.

Charlie Finn had to grow up fast, living alone by age sixteen. Highly intelligent, he earned a life-changing scholarship to Harvard, where he learned how to survive and thrive on the outskirts of privileged society. That skill served him well in the cutthroat business world, as it does in more lucrative but dangerous ventures he now operates off the coast of Miami. Charlie tries to separate relationships from work. But when his choices produce devastating consequences, he sets out to right wrongs, traveling to Central America where he will meet those who have paid for his actions, including a woman and her young daughter. Will their fated encounter present Charlie with a way to seek the redemption he thought was impossible -- and free his heart to love one woman as he never knew he could?

This book was written from the heart. Both my husband and listended to this book together and ended it with tears streaming down our cheeks. What a wonderful story of opening hearts and forgiving ourselves.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Charles. A man with flaws that all of us have and none of us want to admit to but with the strength to admit to them.

What does Kevin Stillwell bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He takes me to the place of the story. He is stunning.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made us cry. We loved it.

Any additional comments?

Charles -- take some much needed time off, but please hurring back to your keyboard.

Love the writing of Charles Martin

Charles Martin is a master at character building. Love the way he tells the story.

simply wonderful

He is the best at what he does. I never want his books to end. By far my favorite author of all time. hope everyone gives him a chance, they will not regret it!

Don’t miss the author’s note!

Although it is a love story, it is certainly not a romance. The characters touched my heart, and the story was engaging from beginning to end, but the author’s note at the end moved me to tears and left me thanking God that He had led me to this book.
