Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author Charles Martin's breathtaking novel of love and redemption.

Charlie Finn had to grow up fast, living alone by age 16. Highly intelligent, he earned a life-changing scholarship to Harvard, where he learned how to survive and thrive on the outskirts of privileged society. That skill served him well in the cutthroat business world, as it does in more lucrative but dangerous ventures he now operates off the coast of Miami. Charlie tries to separate relationships from work. But when his choices produce devastating consequences, he sets out to right wrongs, traveling to Central America, where he will meet those who have paid for his actions, including a woman and her young daughter.

Will their fated encounter present Charlie with a way to seek the redemption he thought was impossible - and free his heart to love one woman as he never knew he could?

Hope is love.

Charles Martin never disappoints!! This may be his best novel ever. There is always something unforgettable in his novels. And I LOVED this book!!

Don’t miss the epilogue “Digging a well” at the end.

Narration was very good. Always helps a great listen.

Surprisingly good

I would have never expected to care about a trouble-spreading drug dealer the way I did with this book. Charles Martin is a masterful story spinner and travel writer. Every book I have read is a treasure and inspiration. I feel like a better person just for reading this writer's work.

This was an nice story

Second book of CM. So far I like his stories, The book was sweet. The only part that bothered me was the authors note at the end of the book. I won’t elaborate more than it was pushing Christian religion.

Martin does it again!

Martin again grapples with the journey of the darkest heart finding redemption - from himself.
A story of rawness and depth, and the power of goodness to bring transformation.

This is not a romance book, but a love story

Any additional comments?

This is a story of love, redemption,sacrifice and the true meaning of life. It deals with many bad things in life, but ends with lessons from the bible.Loved the narration.

Amazing!!

I read all the rave reviews and got the book. At first I didn't understand all the wonderful reviews because the beginning, I thought was slow. However, as you progress, the story is emotional and heartfelt. God truely had a plan for Charlie. I am still thinking about this book days after I have finished it.

Kevin Stillwell was easy to listen to and would love to listen to another book narrated by him.

Made Me Think

Listened to this book to and from vacation. And for another 5 hours upon my return. Story was so captivating. I fell in love with some of the characters and “hated” others. I would definitely recommend Water From My Heart.
