Unwritten

A Novel

De: Charles Martin

Narrado por: Kevin Stillwell

A priest changes the lives of an actress running from her past and a man hiding from his future in this heartfelt novel about loss and redemption.

When someone wants to be lost, a home tucked among the Ten Thousand Islands off the Florida coast is a good place to live. Take a couple decent boats and a deep knowledge of fishing, and Sunday can get by without ever having to talk to another soul. It's a nice enough existence, until the one person who ties Sunday to the world of the living asks him for help.

Father Steady Capri knows quite a bit about helping others. But he is afraid Katie Quinn's problems may be beyond his abilities. Katie is a world-famous actress with an all too familiar story. Fame seems to have driven her to self-destruct. Steady knows the true cause of her desire to end her life is buried too deeply for him to reach. But there is one person who still may be able to save her from herself: Sunday.

He will show her an alternate escape, a way to write a new life, but Katie still must confront her past before she can find peace.

Ultimately, Sunday will need to leave his secluded home and sacrifice the serenity he's found to help her.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A spellbinding novel...Charles Martin took the threads of his storyline and wrapped them around my heart. His unforgettable characters captivate as they confront their hidden pasts and build upon their futures with faith, friendship, and grace." (Elin Hilderbrand, author of Beautiful Day on Unwritten)

"Every word Martin writes seems to be purposefully chosen and adds to the beautiful picture he paints with prose. The characters are so real they radiate from the page. Readers will be moved, touched and changed. (RT Book Reviews)

"Charles Martin's latest novel brings to mind the storytelling traditions of Nicholas Sparks and John Grisham. Unwritten is a novel for the heart but it's also one of adventure. From the Florida Everglades to the hills of France, Martin takes the reader on a magical journey of two troubled souls in search of love and redemption. Unwritten is a page turner and has all the ingredients to become a box office smash." (Michael Morris, author of Man in the Blue Moon)

Feel good book!

It was a relatable story! Meaning that it was easy to put myself in their shoes from how great the narrator read the book and from how well Charles Martin wrote it. Over all a great book.

Wonderful

Charles Martin novels are the best. I've loved every single one. This is no disappointment.

Another great story from Charles Martin

What I always like about a story by Charles Martin is that by the end of the story, I always have a good feeling inside. I'm glad I read/listened to it. Kevin Stillwell did a great job too!

The beauty in this book will crack open your heart

Deeply moving.
Heart wrenching.
You’ll think of the characters long after the story has ended.

Awesome story

Charles Martin captures me from the very first line and makes me want to not stop till he is finished. Thank you for sharing this marvelous gift!

Loved It

I am quickly becoming a Charles Martin fan. Great story that takes you from the darkest depths to joyous highs. The ride is amazing!

The author’s note at the end was so endearing!

Charles Martin has recently become one of my favorite authors, his stories are always intriguing. While I could not relate to any of the characters, (obviously you have to be mega wealthy to “disappear”), I was still curious to find out what happens to them. And his note at the end of the book about his mentor moved me to tears.

wonderful!

I laughed and I cried and had a hard time turning audible off!! I did not want it to end!

Raw, and Human

I liked this story. It stripped the characters down to their humanity. There was much sadness, but love also. It was relatable in some ways. I wasn’t expecting how the book ended, but I loved it.

Wonderful story

What did you love best about Unwritten?

This story was only somewhat predictable, but unfolded in the most beautiful way.

Which character – as performed by Kevin Stillwell – was your favorite?

Steady was my favorite.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The great exchange. .. ..I believe he referred to puzzle pieces on one occasion and baggage on separate occasion, but the meaning was not missed.

Any additional comments?

I would like to compare the subtle threads of grace weaved throughout this story to those that each of us are given on a daily basis.
The volume was not consistent and I had to continually adjust my head phones manually.
