| Summary: | Richly atmospheric and evocative, with the kind of characters that move into one's heart and take up residence, Martin's new novel will resonate with fans of God-haunted Southern fiction, and with anyone who enjoys a solidly crafted, heart-touching story. 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. Her latest customer, a bearded stranger, drains his cup and heads to his car. But the little girl's pretty yellow dress can't quite hide the ugly scar on her chest. The stranger understands more about it 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. |
