Charles Martin

With Charles Martin's trademark lyricism and poignant prose, The Water Keeper is at once a tender love story and a heartrending search for freedom.

The Water Keeper

Cindy Lieberman

A hero of the highest order works to rescue young girls and boys abducted for sex trafficking. It’s a thrilling and suspenseful ride-along on his boat, Gone Fiction, with a cast of memorable characters.

New York Times bestselling author Charles Martin returns to his beloved characters from The Water Keeper and continues to ask poignant questions about the memories that haunt us all.

The Letter Keeper

A follow up to the Water Keeper in much the same vein. More backstory about Bishop, Marie, and Bones. More abductions of children and young girls for trafficking and revenge. More about Freedom (the town). And another great can’t-stop-listening ending. 

One section sounded like a complete lift from book 1, describing the chairlift, mountaintop lodge, and naming of Freedom. I actually checked to make sure I didn’t mistakenly switch back to the first book! Other than that bit of laziness (easy for me to say), it’s a thrilling (yet improbable, just go with it) book about a man willing to sacrifice everything for others.
