Billed as Christian fiction, I found this novel to be a 'heart-warming' story of talent, love and redemption. There were a couple sections which were a little preachy, but otherwise it was just descriptive writing, quotes about the heart from Shakespeare, among others, and a great plot. Highly recommended!

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.

This was such an awesome book. It was kind of hard to get into at the beginning but once it grabs you, it really grabs you all the way! Annie is the sweetest little girl who needs a new heart. Reese is a heart surgeon who because of something that happens in his life, no longer cares about being one. Its a great story of how Reese comes to help Annie in so many ways...and how she helps him too. I just loved it!!

Fantastic book about relationships, love, and the human spirit. The little girl is amazing and the story is heartwrenching and heartwarming at the same time. Charles Martin has done it again! Great read.
