New York Times bestselling author Charles Martin's beloved When Crickets Cry (with over 575,000 copies sold!) is now available in a stunning deluxe edition featuring a shimmering revamped cover, designed end papers, sprayed edges, author signature stamped into the case, and new bonus content.

 

The moving story of a heart surgeon who's hiding his own heart, a little girl whose heart won't last much longer, and a shared journey toward healing for both of them—for fans looking for the emotional depth of Fredrik Backman and the Southern atmosphere of Delia Owens.

It begins on the shaded town square in a sleepy Southern town. A spirited seven-year-old has a brisk business at her lemonade stand. But the little girl's pretty yellow dress can't quite hide the ugly scar on her chest.

Her latest customer, a bearded stranger, drains his cup and heads to his car, his mind on a boat he's restoring at a nearby lake. The stranger understands more about the scar than he wants to admit. And the beat-up bread truck careening around the corner with its radio blaring is about to change the trajectory of both their lives.

Before it's over, they'll both know there are painful reasons why crickets cry . . . and that miracles lurk around unexpected corners.

With its beautiful, lyrical writing, engaging characters who stick with you, and a storyline that will touch your own heart, it's no wonder why so many readers adore When Crickets Cry.

Deluxe Edition Includes:

  • Author note reflecting on the story's origins
  • Extended discussion guide for book clubs
  • QR code for a video message from Charles
