À propos de cet audio
USA TODAY Bestseller | ECPA Bestseller
A riveting story of heroism, heartache, and the power of love to heal all wounds by New York Times bestselling author Charles Martin that combines the intrigue of John Grisham with the heart-wrenching emotion of Nicholas Sparks.
Murphy Shepherd is a man with many secrets. He lives alone on an island, tending the grounds of a church with no parishioners, and he's dedicated his life to rescuing those in peril. But as he mourns the loss of his mentor and friend, Murph himself may be more lost than he realizes.
When he pulls a beautiful woman named Summer out of Florida's Intracoastal Waterway, Murph's mission to lay his mentor to rest at the end of the world takes a dangerous turn. Drawn to Summer, and desperate to find her missing daughter, Murph is pulled deeper and deeper into the dark and dangerous world of modern-day slavery.
With help from some unexpected new friends, including a faithful Labrador he plucks from the ocean and an ex-convict named Clay, Murph must race against the clock to locate the girl before he is consumed by the secrets of his past--and the ghosts who tried to bury them.
With Charles Martin's trademark lyricism and poignant prose, The Water Keeper is at once a tender love story, a heartrending search for freedom, an exploration of the terrible cost of human trafficking, and an anthem to the power of love to create change when it show up regardless of the cost.
"Martin excels at writing characters who exist in the margins of life . . . Readers who enjoy flawed yet likable characters created by authors such as John Grisham and Nicholas Sparks will want to start reading Martin's fiction." --Library Journal, starred review
"The Water Keeper is a wonderfully satisfying book with a plot driven by both action and love, and characters who will stay in readers' heads long after the last page." --Southern Literary Review
"Charles Martin fans rejoice, because he's done it again . . . a multilayered story woven together with grace and redemption, and packed tight with tension and achingly real characters." --Lauren Denton

Great Book

It took me awhile to get into this book. About a 1/4 way through, I was more immersed. Lots of action but many sweet and tender moments.
The author keeps you guessing but it’s largely due to not giving you all the info until toward the end. There were a few points where I was trying to make sense of some stuff, only to learn that important info wasn’t shared. So it wasn’t a matter of keeping me guessing. I really had no choice. I both disliked and liked that.
However, it was still a good novel and I’ll be listening to the others. Trafficking is something that I’m passionate about because too many do not believe how huge and how broad it is.

Like every novel by Martin, I was hooked, and this one had me crying, laughing, shocked and screaming at the book at each swerve the story took. Well written, but I must say, I can’t handle the ending! I NEED a sequel! Haha.
Love - hate relationship with this one!
