Wow! How to begin. I love Charles Martin's books and have read them all. For me, this one fell short of what I expect from him until I was 70% into it. After that point, when he wrote his story for Katie,I couldn't put it down. That was riveting.

As I read the epilogue, I found myself thinking that he should have reread some of the critiques "Doc" wrote to him. It's my opinion that the first 70% could have been told in about half the words.

For me, I continued to read even when struggling, because my motto is "Trust your author". I feel that if you love an author's work, you can trust him through parts that you don't like to get you to the place he wants you to be. I'm really glad that I finished this book, but I hope his next one is better.
