Chasing Fireflies

A Novel of Discovery
by: Charles Martin

Synopsis:
They have one summer to find what was lost long ago.

"Never settle for less than the truth," she told him. But when you don't even know your real name, the truth gets a little complicated. It can nestle so close to home it's hard to see. It can even flourish inside a lie. And as Chase Walker discovered, learning the truth about who you are can be as elusive--and as magical--as chasing fireflies on a summer night.

I loved this book. I think it is now one of my favorites. I laughed and cried with the characters in the book. Very heart-wrenching story about a little boy who is mute and an orphan, a man who has looked for his "real" parents his whole life and a man who takes both these special boys into his home and raises them as his own.

You gotta read this one!!

I discovered your site a month or two ago and I like your taste in books so I'm happy to see a new update. I'll definitely check it out. I just finished reading The Time Traveller's Wife and highly recommend it.

I found your blog and enjoyed reading your reviews. I have read a few of the books you reviewed but found several that I haven't that I look forward to. I started with Chasing Fireflies and I loved it. I loved the characters and the story from beginning to end. I look forward to another one from those you really liked. Please keep up the blog!
