The Last Exchange (by Charles Martin)

I cannot express enough how much I adore novels by Charles Martin. He always manages to reach down into my soul and exorcise all kinds of emotions. This story of pain, loss, drug abuse, infertility, infidelity, high self-inflicted expectations, and the search for true love is one that will have you flipping the pages as fast as you can as you absorb every word written. The story of Maybe Joe Sue is heart wrenching. She has such good qualities and has an ability to appeal to her fans … they can identify with her down-to-earth normal activities that no movie star would consider. You get a glimpse into life in Hollywood and how people are manipulated and the expectations placed on them “to be.” Then steps in Pockets. What an amazing man. I fell in love with him from the beginning and was cheering him on from the first page to the last. I would love to experience the depths Pockets goes to show his love. And when you get to the final chapter, your heart will stop and you will be shocked! Another book by this amazing author that I will be purchasing to share with family and friends! I have every book he’s written and will never give them away … only loaning them so others can have the pleasure of being lost in stories of love, grace, redemption, unconditional love.
