I have never heard of Charles Martin the writer before, I actually have a cousin named Charles Martin but thats another story for another day.
The writer Charles Martin really knows how to spin a story. While the book started out slow for me once it picked up momentium it became a book I couldn't put down.
Tucker Mason and his brother Mutt were raised by their housekeeper, Miss Ella Rain who was a nice christian lady. She showed them love and protected them from their abusive,alcholic father. Tucker grows up to become a famous photographer but his brother Mutt didn't fare so well, and wound up in a mental hospital because he suffers from schizophrenia as well as other issues. As the boys grew up their past pains from their father haunted them, but they learn that to find peace within themselves they must find forgiveness for their father.
I really liked the southern feel of this story. Miss Ella Rain certainly loved the two boys as her own and really took care of them, she continued to affect them long after she passed away. I thought the story of Katie and Jase was interesting as well.
Overall it took me several pages to become invested in the story but I am glad that I stuck it out because it became a story that I hated to see end.
This book was provided by Booksneeze in exchange for an honest review.
