Charles Martin: Wrapped In Rain

4.5 stars out of 5


“You can’t choose your parents, child. The only thing you can control in this life is what you say and what you do.”


“Love is like that. Light doesn’t have to announce its way into a room or ask the darkness to leave. It just is. It walks ahead of you, and the darkness rolls back like a tide...It has to, ’cause darkness can’t be where light is.”


“Where does a man find healing amid so many broken places? How does he find love in the ruins and vine-wrapped shattered pieces of his own soul?”


Charles Martin books leave me breathless. His stories are always so character driven with an engaging story around those beloved characters. There is always a familiarity in his books; a broken main character searching for forgiveness from a certain event or person that has altered his life. And there is usually a love interest that is never sappy but perfectly written. Wrapped In Rain is no exception. I loved the themes and characters (Miss Ella will stick with me for a long time like Big-Big in Long Way Gone). This one admittedly didn’t capture me at first like a lot of his books but once it did, it never let go. My favorite part of this book was all of the Christian elements. And I love how Charles Martin isn’t afraid to have real, gritty conversations and storylines. Very refreshing and hard to come by with most Christian authors today.
