Cooper and Daleys story will make you believe that even broken instruments have songs to offer when theyre in the right hands. Charles Martin never fails to ask and answer the questions that linger deep within all of us. In this beautifully told story of a prodigal coming home, readers will find the broken and mended pieces of their own hearts.

Long Way Gone takes us to even greater reaches of the heart, as he explores the complicated relationship between father and son. Martin weaves all the pieces of this story together with a beautiful musical thread, and as the final pieces fall into place, we close this story feeling as if we have witnessed something surreal, a multi-sensory narrative for anyone who enjoys a redemptive story.

A beautiful story of redemption and love once lost but found again, Long Way Gone proves two things: music washes us from the inside out and Charles Martins words do the same.

Martins story charges headlong into the sentimental territory-and best-seller terrain-of The Notebook, which doubtless will mean major studio screen treatment.

Charles Martin is changing the face of inspirational fiction one book at a time. Wrapped In Rain is a sentimental tale that is not to be missed.
M ICHAEL M ORRIS , AUTHOR OF L IVE L IKE Y OU W ERE D YING AND A P LACE C ALLED W IREGRASS
A tender tale of heartbreak and redemption, Wrapped in Rain will speak to every child who has suffered a broken heart and every mother who has prayed for a child. Not to be missed.
A NGELA H UNT , AUTHOR OF U NSPOKEN AND T HE D EBT
Wrapped in Rain is achingly lovely. It compels us to fear and pain; challenge and discovery; love and more love; imperfect forgiveness and everlasting redemption. Its ambience is southern, its promise universal. Charles Martin has quickly become an elite writer in this genre, and a special writer in my heart.
K ATHRYN M ACKEL , AUTHOR OF T HE S URROGATE AND T HE D EPARTED
This is the story of a real persons real struggle with the uncertainties of faith, unadorned with miracles of the deus ex machina sort but full of the sort of miracles that attend everyday life if you bother to notice. Charles Martin notices, and for that I commend him. Hes unafraid of tackling the crucial questionslife, death, love, sacrifice.
D UNCAN M URRELL , EDITOR AND WRITER
[The Dead Dont Dance is] an absorbing read for fans of faithbased fiction... [with] delightfully quirky characters... [who] are ingeniously imaginative creations.

To everyone whos ever known the pain of watching a loved one walk away and then stood on the porch staring down the road.
And to every loved one whos reached the end of that road... and turned around.
I d seen him before. Old guy was probably seventy-five. Maybe eighty. Gnarled, arthritic fingers. Four-packs-a-day voice. Cottony-white hair with yellowed ends. Wrinkled ebony skin. A high-mileage chassis. He wore threadbare, blue-and-gray striped pants that had previously belonged to a wool suit and a soiled white button-down that hed fastened clear to the top. To complete the ensemble, he wore two-toned classic oxfords. The white was dull and cracked, but what remained of the black had been polished to a spit shine.
And his guitar was as road-worn as he. It was an old Gibson J-45 and hed strummed holes both above and below the sound hole, exposing some of the bracing. At some point hed slapped duct tape around the back and sides. His tuners were different colors, and even at a distance his strings looked rusty. But when that old man cut loose, both he and his guitar came alive. His feet tapped in rhythm with his strum hand, adding a percussive beat and suggesting hed also played drums somewhere. The smile on his face spoke of the memory of who hed once been. Or believed himself to be.
Im not picky about much, except guitars. Six strings are a passion. A polyphonic concert in which each majestic string has a voice. Truth is, I am mesmerized by the idea that we can glue together disparate pieces of wood into an hourglass-shaped box, wrap it in bracing, binding, and phosphor-bronze strings, and then apply a little of the right pressure to give rise to a voicethe sum of which is exponentially greater than the pieces it comprises and as distinctive as the hands that play it. Deep, throaty, boxy, punchy low end, scooped middle, accentuated highs... I can make an argument for each.
