Where the River Ends

By: Charles Martin

Narrated by: Mark Deakins

He was a fishing guide and struggling artist from a south George trailer park. She was the beautiful only child of South Carolina's most powerful senator. Yet once Doss Michaels and Abigail Grace Coleman met by accident, they each felt they'd found their true soul mate.

Ten years into their marriage, when Abbie faces a life-threatening illness, Doss battles it with her every step of the way. And when she makes a list of 10 things she hopes to accomplish before she loses the fight for good, Doss is there, too, supporting her and making everything possible. Together they steal away in the middle of the night to embark upon a 130-mile trip down the St. Mary's River - a voyage Doss promised Abbie in the early days of their courtship.

Where the River Ends chronicles their love-filled, tragedy-tinged journey and a bond that transcends all.

Live life to the fullest!

This story is a little different from Charles Martin's other books, but it is still an adventure worth taking. Pride is one's downfall, but love covers a multitude of sins. Enter the lives of Abby, Doss, and her senator Father.

Love and the tensions we manage

Martin captures in abundant passion and detail the way that love works its way into the fiber of our soul and our communities. So many tensions of good versus evil, and he weaves his story around the things that matter most even if it means, you have to break the rules. Few wrap things together and yet keep so many different storylines running as well as Charles. Definitely a worthy read.

Outstanding!

Charles Martin has captivated me with his writing. This is my second book of his and I can't get enough. Leaving now to start the third one.

M&S story hour

Sad but very heart warming. It was one of our favorite CM books. This book would be helpful if you were experiencing the loss of a loved one.

outstanding read

Loved it

I like the books where you can climb in and stay awhile, This is one of those. It’s one where the characters are people you’d be happy to call your friends and their hurts and smiles become yours too. Touching story.

I see and hear Jesus in his stories! Would make a great movie!

There isn’t anything I dislike! I recommend to many people! Keep up the good work Charles !

still love the writing style

although it was difficult to keep up with at times going from the past to the current day, especially when listening to intermittently, I still enjoyed the writing style and plan to listen to this author more
