REVIEW: When Crickets Cry

A novel by Charles Martin

00icon_recommendedThis book looks at how different people react to tragedies in their lives, yet it is very uplifting. A man who has an unexplained tragedy in his past meets a 7-year-old girl who is living a tragedy in her life now. However, the author makes us love these characters and ultimately come to root for them.

In fact, how they relate to each other and cope with their own circumstances makes a wonderful story and teaches us a lot about our own attitudes and fears.  Because the story is so delightful, we may hardly realize that attitudes about our behaviors may be changing. This book may make us laugh or cry, but it will also certainly help us grow.
