A Southern Living Book of the Month Selection | New York Times Bestselling Author
Set in a sleepy Southern town — the kind of place that feels unmistakably like home to Arkansas readers — When Crickets Cry is a moving story about a heart surgeon hiding his own broken heart, a little girl whose heart won't last much longer, and the unexpected miracle that binds them.
It begins on a shaded town square. A spirited seven-year-old runs a lemonade stand, her pretty yellow dress barely hiding the scar on her chest. A bearded stranger drains his cup and heads toward the lake — and a beat-up bread truck careening around the corner is about to change everything.
Before it's over, they'll both know there are painful reasons why crickets cry… and that miracles lurk around unexpected corners.
- ✦ Fans of Fredrik Backman & Delia Owens will love Charles Martin's emotional depth
- ✦ Perfect for book clubs — rich themes of healing, redemption, and grace
- ✦ A beloved gift for readers across the South — especially Central Arkansas
- ✦ "If you read any book this year, this is the one." — Coffee Time Romance
- ✦ "Charming characters and twists that keep the pages turning." — Southern Living
