Book Reviews of Where the River Ends
Book Review: "The Bucket List" meets "The Notebook"
Summary: 5 Stars
I couldn't put this book down. This is the sweetest story of never-ending, to the core, selfless, dedicated love. There isn't a woman who wouldn't want a Doss Michaels in their life.
Doss, a struggling artist who grew up in a trailer park, meets, falls in love with, and marries the senator's daughter - Abbie Coleman. Though he knows his father-in-law does not like him and disapproves of their marriage, he doesn't let that deter him from giving Abbie his full heart.
When health troubles arise, Doss and Abbie have choices to make--many of them illegal and (to her father) unethical. Through the ups and downs of their decisions, and consequences for each choice, their strength, love and will to survive are tested.
Abbie makes a list of ten things she hopes to do in her life. Together, she and Doss go through the checklist, racing against time, the law, and the senator's formidable determination.
I tend to think of "Where the River Ends" as "The Bucket List" meets "The Notebook". I laughed and cried throughout this story and didn't want the book to end. I've grown to know and love the characters and feel a void now that I've closed the cover.
Charles Martin paints a vivid portrait of Charleston and the St. Mary's River, making me feel as if I've been there. I've put the remaining Charles Martin books on my wish list. Great author. Great story. Great experience.
Summary of Where the River Ends
A powerfully emotional and beautifully written story of heartbreaking loss and undying loveHe 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 ten 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.
