Omg, I cried and cried. Love this so much. Just perfect.

Since reading my first Charles Martin book “The Dead Don’t Dance” I have loved everything he writes. They move me so much! You can’t not enjoy this story of good triumphing over evil…trust me!

I have to admit, I struggled to get into this book at first. I got lost in the details but that probably due to not reading a back summary first. Once I figured out what the story was, everything started clicking. His books are always so vivid in the details and just such wonderful, heatbreaking and hopeful journeys. I’ve loved every story I’ve read of his and can always trust in his ability to spin a deep, riveting, and thought provoking tale that will keep me up late into the night.

This is a beautiful, tender story on so many levels. Gets to the heart of what truly matters in life.

A terrific faith-filled story. I worked in an adult psychiatric inpatient hospital unit in the 1970's so the recounting of Mutt's medication and treatment was pretty much what I saw happen. The Biblical wisdom and love of Miss Ella was inspiring. A realistic story of horrendous atrocity against the boys and what the love and wisdom of Miss Ella could do to help them survive and later thrive. A wonderful story of resilience and faith.

I spent all day, comfy and snug, reading this entire book. It wrapped me in warmth and love. I truly loved this book.

I think this is my favorite of Charles Martin's books. Such a powerful story. Moved me to tears.

One of my all-time favorite books. You will not be disappointed. Beautifully written, emotional, and filled with love.

An amazing novel beautifully written as always. So many life lessons are twisted in the book. I would recommend this book to anyone!
