If you haven't read Charles Martin, you should do yourself a favor and pick up any one of his books. He is a masterful storyteller and will take you though a range of emotions. This is probably my favorite of his books I have read (and that is saying a lot). It is particularly wonderful if you are a lover of music (as I am). It is a beautiful tale of a father's love for his son and a son's journey to redemption. The characters become a part of your heart and we are left with wisdom to ponder. It is tragic and heartbreaking but also uplifting, triumphant and heart mending.
