Chronicle During Books When Crickets Cry
A man with a painful past. A child with a doubtful future. And a shared journey toward healing for both their hearts.It begins on the shaded town square in 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.

Another powerful story you cannot put down. (loved the Atlanta/Lake Burton setting), since lived in Vinings, spending weekends at Lake Lanier...and holidays at Lake Burton! Have read all his books and looking forward to his new release-Unwritten. You will want his the entire collection of his work to pass along to your children!" Charles is one of my favorite authors and everything he writes is a winner!Wow, another terrific book about the heart (literally), emotional healing and the power of redemption and love. How refreshing to read a mainstream book that speaks of God, is squeaky clean, even gives a powerful sermon (without being preachy) about the evils of pornography, an unspoken sermon about the evils of drugs, and a storyline that lifts the soul. Being interested in medicine, I also enjoyed what I learned on that front. I highly recommend this book.
I can't finish this book. Normally I will persevere to the end to finish a book club book, assuming there was SOMETHING good that caused the committee to choose it for us, but this is intolerable.I began to suspect that this book was not for me while reading a dry recounting of what the main character puts in his juicer in the morning. Suspicion mounted when I found myself reading a long boring technical description of rowing a scull across a lake.The last straw was the page long list of tools
This is a wonderful book with engaging, believable characters. It's a story of redemption, hope, love, forgiveness, and dedication. A bit predictable but a compelling read nonetheless. It earns kudos for its wholesomeness. Audio book.
Such a poignant and moving story! Highly recommend, though I don't think it's for every reader. A few observations: I learned more than I ever wanted to know about the human heart and transplant surgery. I wish the story had unfolded in a more straight-forward manner; I get that it's how the main character revealed himself to those around him, but all those vague references and then doubling back to add more detail to an event only alluded to before got confusing and made me impatient. I think
I was excited to read this book because it came highly recomended. I really wanted to like it but I couldn't get into it. There were some good things about this book. It was a sweet story. It was nice to read a book that had morals, it had some exciting parts but I didn't get emotionally involved. Call me a Hard Hearted Hannah, but the only tears I shed were of boredom. Maybe I am being too harsh, the book was okay but I was dissapointed in it.
