The Discovery

Selah Award Winner, Carol Award Finalist -- "Best Historical Fiction"

He inherits the house of a legend—and the secrets that lived inside.
In an old wooden box in a Charleston estate lies the story of a lifetime.
Was the greatest story his grandfather ever told one he kept to himself?

When Michael Warner inherits his grandfather’s historic Charleston home, he steps into more than just a beautiful house—he steps into the shadow of a legend. Gerard Warner was a literary icon, known for his brilliance on the page and his silence off it. He rarely gave interviews, avoided the spotlight, and took his private life to the grave.

Or so everyone thought.

While settling into the home where Gerard penned his greatest works, Michael stumbles upon something unexpected: a forgotten manuscript—one that doesn't read like any of the others. It's a love story set in wartime, full of passion, secrets, and sacrifice. But as Michael keeps reading, he begins to suspect there’s more at stake than a lost novel. What he discovers will challenge everything he thought he knew—about his grandfather, his family, and even himself.

The Discovery is a rich, emotionally layered novel about the cost of secrets, the unexpected ways the past can reach into the present, and the sacrifices made to forge a love that lasts a lifetime.

Some secrets don’t fade with time—they are just waiting to be discovered.

refreshing

I was refreshed to read a book christian based with out 💩 in it. thank you sir. I'll be buying every book you write

mystery

AI narration is not pleasant. no real live emotions. AI couldn't even understand the expression "awww"

Dan Walsh is a fantastic author!

This is the fourth book of his I have listened to. The stories are engaging and realistic. So glad I came across him!

Two Books in one!!!!!

First the book was just great! The Book within the book was great! I really liked the way you wrote the book within the novel to explain the granddaddy life, quite unique!

Fantastic Story

Great story. Keeps you guessing. Ready to read it again. Even the virtual voice was pretty good.

Great story!

I am not a fan of virtual voice. I was distracted by some mispronunciations and places whet the timing was unnatural. For example, instead of USO, the narration read it like it was word pronounced “you-so”. Overall, it was a great story

One of this best book I hav listened to too

I think the book was great from beginning to end. There were of course some areas that were predictable, but there was some nice twist and turns that kept the suspense going. I love the telling of the story by the grandson and the love he shared of writing. They had a lot in common but yet they were very different individuals. Great book all the way around I wish there was a book 2 to the story to see the growth and development of his grandson and his grandson‘s family, I will surely keep an eye out if there isn’t one that already exist so I will definitely check right after I submit this review.
thank you to the author

AI is hard to endure

The story was captivating enough, but the AI was passionless and clearly robotic. Something I had to endure in order to finish the book.

Great story ruined by robot voice.

Story: 5 star. Narration and production: 1 star. Ongoing problems with playback during the book. Will NOT listen to any more robot voice books. Void of emotion and feelings. Awful.
